5:1 And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh,
Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they
may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.
5:2 And Pharaoh said, Who [is] the LORD, that I should obey
his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I
let Israel go.
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 desert,
and sacrifice unto the LORD our God; lest he fall upon us with
pestilence, or with the sword.
5:4 And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore do ye,
Moses and Aaron, let the people from their works? get you unto
your burdens.
5:5 And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now
[are] many, and ye make them rest from their burdens.
5:6 And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the
people, and their officers, saying,
5:7 Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as
heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.
5:8 And the tale of the bricks, which they did make
heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish
[ought] thereof: for they [be] idle; therefore they cry,
saying, Let us go [and] sacrifice to our God.
5:9 Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may
labour therein; and let them not regard vain words.
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.
5:11 Go ye, get you straw where ye can find it: yet not ought
of your work shall be diminished.
5:12 So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the
land of Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw.
5:13 And the taskmasters hasted [them], saying, Fulfil your
works, [your] daily tasks, as when there was straw.
5:14 And the officers of the children of Israel, which
Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, [and]
demanded, Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your task in making
brick both yesterday and to day, as heretofore?
5:15 Then the officers of the children of Israel came and
cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with
thy servants?
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 [is] in thine own people.
5:17 But he said, Ye [are] idle, [ye are] idle: therefore ye
say, Let us go [and] do sacrifice to the LORD.
5:18 Go therefore now, [and] work; for there shall no straw
be given you, yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks.
5:19 And the officers of the children of Israel did see
[that] they [were] in evil [case], after it was said, Ye shall
not minish [ought] from your bricks of your daily task.
5:20 And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as
they came forth from Pharaoh:
5:21 And they said unto them, The LORD look upon you, and
judge; because ye have made our savour 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.
5:22 And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Lord,
wherefore hast thou [so] evil entreated this people? why [is]
it [that] thou hast sent me?
5:23 For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he
hath done evil to this people; neither hast thou delivered thy
people at all.
