[1] Afterward Moses and Aaron came, and said to Pharaoh, “This is what Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, ‘Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to me in the wilderness.’” [2] Pharaoh said, “Who is Yahweh, that I should listen to his voice to let Israel go? I don’t know Yahweh, and moreover I will not let Israel go.” [3] They said, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Please let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to Yahweh, our God, lest he fall on us with pestilence, or with the sword.” [4] The king of Egypt said to them, “Why do you, Moses and Aaron, take the people from their work? Get back to your burdens!” [5] Pharaoh said, “Behold, the people of the land are now many, and you make them rest from their burdens.” [6] The same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people and their officers, saying, [7] “You shall no longer give the people straw to make brick, as before. Let them go and gather straw for themselves. [8] You shall require from them the number of the bricks which they made before. You shall not diminish anything of it, for they are idle. Therefore they cry, saying, ‘Let’s go and sacrifice to our God.’ [9] Let heavier work be laid on the men, that they may labor in it. Don’t let them pay any attention to lying words.” [10] The taskmasters of the people went out with their officers, and they spoke to the people, saying, “This is what Pharaoh says: ‘I will not give you straw. [11] Go yourselves, get straw where you can find it, for nothing of your work shall be diminished.’” [12] So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw. [13] The taskmasters were urgent saying, “Fulfill your work quota daily, as when there was straw!” [14] The officers of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh’s taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and were asked, “Why haven’t you fulfilled your quota both yesterday and today, in making brick as before?” [15] Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, saying, “Why do you deal this way with your servants? [16] No straw is given to your servants, and they tell us, ‘Make brick!’ and behold, your servants are beaten; but the fault is in your own people.” [17] But Pharaoh said, “You are idle! You are idle! Therefore you say, ‘Let’s go and sacrifice to Yahweh.’ [18] Go therefore now, and work; for no straw shall be given to you; yet you shall deliver the same number of bricks!” [19] The officers of the children of Israel saw that they were in trouble when it was said, “You shall not diminish anything from your daily quota of bricks!” [20] They met Moses and Aaron, who stood along the way, as they came out from Pharaoh. [21] They said to them, “May Yahweh look at you and judge, because you have made us a stench to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to kill us!” [22] Moses returned to Yahweh, and said, “Lord, why have you brought trouble on this people? Why is it that you have sent me? [23] For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has brought trouble on this people. You have not rescued your people at all!”

Request to Pharaoh

[1] And afterward H310 Moses H4872 and Aaron H175 went in, H935 and told H559 H413 Pharaoh, H6547 Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H3068 God H430 of Israel, H3478 Let H7971 H853 my people H5971 go, H7971 that they may hold a feast H2287 unto me in the wilderness. H4057 [2] And Pharaoh H6547 said, H559 Who H4310 is the Lord, H3068 that H834 I should obey H8085 his voice H6963 to let H7971 H853 Israel H3478 go? H7971 I know H3045 not H3808 H853 the Lord, H3068 neither H1571 H3808 will I let H7971 H853 Israel H3478 go. H7971 [3] And they said, H559 The God H430 of the Hebrews H5680 hath met H7122 with us: H5921 let us go, H3212 we pray thee, H4994 three H7969 days’ H3117 journey H1870 into the desert, H4057 and sacrifice H2076 unto the Lord H3068 our God; H430 lest H6435 he fall upon us H6293 with pestilence, H1698 or H176 with the sword. H2719 [4] And the king H4428 of Egypt H4714 said H559 unto them, H413 Wherefore H4100 do ye, H6544 Moses H4872 and Aaron, H175 let H6544 H853 the people H5971 from their works? H4639 get you H3212 unto your burdens. H5450 [5] And Pharaoh H6547 said, H559 Behold, H2005 the people H5971 of the land H776 now H6258 are many, H7227 and ye make H7673 them H853 rest H7673 from their burdens. H5450 [6] And Pharaoh H6547 commanded H6680 the same H1931 day H3117 H853 the taskmasters H5065 of the people, H5971 and H853 their officers, H7860 saying, H559 [7] Ye shall H3254 no H3808 more H3254 give H5414 the people H5971 straw H8401 to make H3835 brick, H3843 as heretofore: H8543 H8032 let H3212 them H1992 go H3212 and gather H7197 straw H8401 for themselves. [8] And H853 the tale H4971 of the bricks, H3843 which H834 they H1992 did make H6213 heretofore, H8543 H8032 ye shall lay H7760 upon them; H5921 ye shall H1639 not H3808 diminish H1639 ought thereof: H4480 for H3588 they H1992 be idle; H7503 therefore H5921 H3651 they H1992 cry, H6817 saying, H559 Let us go H3212 and sacrifice H2076 to our God. H430 [9] Let there more H3513 work H5656 be laid H3513 upon H5921 the men, H582§ that they may labour H6213 therein; and let them H8159 not H408 regard H8159 vain H8267 words. H1697 [10] And the taskmasters H5065 of the people H5971 went out, H3318 and their officers, H7860 and they spake H559 to H413 the people, H5971 saying, H559 Thus H3541 saith H559 Pharaoh, H6547 I H369 will H5414 not H369 give H5414 you straw. H8401 [11] Go H3212 ye, H859 get H3947 you straw H8401 where H834 ye can find H4672 it: yet H3588 not H369 ought H1697 of your work H5656 shall be diminished. H1639 [12] So the people H5971 were scattered abroad H6327 throughout all H3605 the land H776 of Egypt H4714 to gather H7197 stubble H7179 instead of straw. H8401 [13] And the taskmasters H5065 hasted H213 them, saying, H559 Fulfil H3615 your works, H4639 your daily H3117 H3117 tasks, H1697§ as H834 when there was H1961 straw. H8401 [14] And the officers H7860 of the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 which H834 Pharaoh’s H6547 taskmasters H5065 had set H7760 over them, H5921 were beaten, H5221 and demanded, H559 Wherefore H4069 have ye H3615 not H3808 fulfilled H3615 your task H2706 in making brick H3835 both H1571 yesterday H8543 and H1571 to day, H3117 as heretofore? H8543 H8032 [15] Then the officers H7860 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 came H935 and cried H6817 unto H413 Pharaoh, H6547 saying, H559 Wherefore H4100 dealest H6213 thou H6213 thus H3541 with thy servants? H5650 [16] There is no H369 straw H8401 given H5414 unto thy servants, H5650 and they say H559 to us, Make H6213 brick: H3843 and, behold, H2009 thy servants H5650 are beaten; H5221 but the fault H2398 is in thine own people. H5971 [17] But he said, H559 Ye H859 are idle, H7503 ye are idle: H7503 therefore H5921 H3651 ye H859 say, H559 Let us go H3212 and do sacrifice H2076 to the Lord. H3068 [18] Go H3212 therefore now, H6258 and work; H5647 for there shall H5414 no H3808 straw H8401 be given H5414 you, yet shall ye deliver H5414 the tale H8506 of bricks. H3843 [19] And the officers H7860 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 did see H7200 that they H853 were in evil H7451 case, after it was said, H559 Ye shall H1639 not H3808 minish H1639 ought from your bricks H3843 of your daily H3117 H3117 task. H1697 [20] And they met H6293 H853 Moses H4872 and H853 Aaron, H175 who stood H5324 in the way, H7125 as they came forth H3318 from H854 Pharaoh: H6547 [21] and they said H559 unto them, H413 The Lord H3068 look H7200 upon you, H5921 and judge; H8199 because H834 ye have made H887 H853 our savour H7381 to be abhorred H887§ in the eyes H5869 of Pharaoh, H6547 and in the eyes H5869 of his servants, H5650 to put H5414 a sword H2719 in their hand H3027 to slay us. H2026 [22] And Moses H4872 returned H7725 unto H413 the Lord, H3068 and said, H559 Lord, H136 wherefore H4100 hast thou H7489 so evil entreated H7489 this H2088 people? H5971 why H4100 is it H2088 that thou hast sent me? H7971 [23] For since H227 I came H935 to H413 Pharaoh H6547 to speak H1696 in thy name, H8034 he hath done evil H7489 to this H2088 people; H5971 neither H3808 hast thou delivered H5337§ H853 thy people H5971 at all.
