Exodus 5:1
|
|
And afterward Moses and Aaron came, and said
unto Pharaoh, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Let my people go, that they
may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 5:2 |
|
And Pharaoh said, Who is Jehovah, that I should
hearken unto his voice to let Israel go? I know not Jehovah, and moreover I will
not let Israel go. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 5:3 |
|
And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met
with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, and
sacrifice unto Jehovah our God, lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with
the sword. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 5:4 |
|
And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore
do ye, Moses and Aaron, loose the people from their works? get you unto your burdens.
|
| |
|
|
| Exodus 5:5 |
|
And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the
land are now many, and ye make them rest from their burdens. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 5:6 |
|
And the same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters
of the people, and their officers, saying, |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 5:7 |
|
Ye shall no more give the people straw to make
brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 5:8 |
|
And the number of the bricks, which they did
make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish aught thereof:
for they are idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our
God. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 5:9 |
|
Let heavier work be laid upon the men, that
they may labor therein; and let them not regard lying words. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 5:10 |
|
And the taskmasters of the people went out,
and their officers, and they spake to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh,
I will not give you straw. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 5:11 |
|
Go yourselves, get you straw where ye can find
it: for nought of your work shall be diminished. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 5:12 |
|
So the people were scattered abroad throughout
all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 5:13 |
|
And the taskmasters were urgent saying, Fulfil
your works, your daily tasks, as when there was straw. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 5:14 |
|
And the officers of the children of Israel,
whom Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, Wherefore
have ye not fulfilled your task both yesterday and to-day, in making brick as
heretofore? |
|
|
|
| Exodus 5:15 |
|
Then the officers of the children of Israel
came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants?
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 5:16 |
|
There is no straw given unto thy servants, and
they say to us, Make brick: and, behold, thy servants are beaten; but the fault
it in thine own people. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 5:17 |
|
But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle: therefore
ye say, Let us go and sacrifice to Jehovah. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 5:18 |
|
Go therefore now, and work; for there shall
no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the number of bricks. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 5:19 |
|
And the officers of the children of Israel did
see that they were in evil case, when it was said, Ye shall not diminish aught
from your bricks, your daily tasks. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 5:20 |
|
And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the
way, as they came forth from Pharaoh: |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 5:21 |
|
and they said unto them, Jehovah look upon you,
and judge: because ye have made our savor to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh,
and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 5:22 |
|
And Moses returned unto Jehovah, and said, Lord,
wherefore hast thou dealt ill with this people? why is it that thou hast sent
me? |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 5:23 |
|
For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy
name, he hath dealt ill with this people; neither hast thou delivered thy people
at all. |
