1
And afterward
Moses
and Aaron
came
and said
to Pharaoh,
"Thus
says
the LORD,
the God
of Israel,
'
Let
My people
go
that they may celebrate a feast
to Me in the wilderness.'"
2
But Pharaoh
said,
"Who
is the LORD
that I should obey
His voice
to let
Israel
go?
I do not know
the LORD,
and besides,
I will not let
Israel
go."
3
Then they said,
"The God
of the Hebrews
has met
with us. Please,
let us go
a three
days'
journey
into the wilderness
that we may sacrifice
to the LORD
our God,
otherwise
He will fall
upon us with pestilence
or
with the sword."
4
But the king
of Egypt
said
to them, "Moses
and Aaron,
why
do you draw
the people
away
from their work?
Get
back to your labors!"
5
Again Pharaoh
said,
"Look,
the people
of the land
are now
many,
and you would have them cease
from their labors!"
6
So the same
day
Pharaoh
commanded
the taskmasters
over the people
and their foremen,
saying,
7
"You are no
longer
to give
the people
straw
to make brick
as previously;
let them go
and gather
straw
for themselves.
8
"But the quota
of bricks
which
they were making
previously,
you shall impose
on them; you are not to reduce
any
of it. Because
they are lazy,
therefore
they cry
out, 'Let us go
and sacrifice
to our God.'
9
"Let the labor
be heavier
on the men,
and let them work
at it so that they will pay
no
attention
to false
words."
10
So the taskmasters
of the people
and their foremen
went
out and spoke
to the people,
saying,
"Thus
says
Pharaoh,
'I am not going to give
you any straw.
11
You go
and get
straw
for yourselves wherever
you can find
it, but none
of your labor
will be reduced.'"
12
So the people
scattered
through all
the land
of Egypt
to gather
stubble
for straw.
13
The taskmasters
pressed
them, saying,
"Complete
your work quota,
your daily
amount,
just
as when you had
straw."
14
M
or
e
over
, the f
or
emen
of the sons
of Israel,
whom
Pharaoh's
taskmasters
had set
over
them, were beaten
and were asked,
"Why
have you not completed
your required amount
either
yesterday
or
today
in making brick
as previously?"
15
Then the foremen
of the sons
of Israel
came
and cried
out to Pharaoh,
saying,
"Why
do you deal
this way
with your servants?
16
"There is no
straw
given
to
your servants
,
yet they keep saying
to us, 'Make
bricks!'
And behold,
your servants
are being beaten;
but it is the fault
of your own people."
17
But he said,
"You are lazy,
very lazy;
therefore
you say,
'Let us go
and sacrifice
to the LORD.'
18
"So go
no
w
and work;
for you will be given
no
straw,
yet you must deliver
the quota
of bricks."
19
The foremen
of the sons
of Israel
saw
that they were in trouble
because they were told,
"You must not reduce
your daily
amount
of bricks."
20
When they left
Pharaoh's
presence,
they met
Moses
and Aaron
as they were waiting
for them.
21
They said
to them, "May the LORD
look
upon you and judge
you, for you have made us odious
in Pharaoh's
sight
and in the
sight
of his servants,
to put
a sword
in their hand
to kill
us."
22
Then Moses
returned
to the LORD
and said,
"O Lord,
why
have You brought harm
to this
people?
Why
did You ever
send
me?
23
"Ever since
I came
to Pharaoh
to speak
in Your name,
he has done harm
to this
people,
and You have not delivered
Your people
at all."
