And afterward{H310} Moses{H4971} and Aaron{H175} came,{H3843} and said{H559} unto Pharaoh,{H6213} Thus saith{H559} Jehovah,{H3068} the God{H430} of Israel,{H3478} Let my people{H5971} go,{H7971} that they may hold a feast{H2287} unto me in the wilderness.{H4057}

And Pharaoh{H6547} said,{H559} Who is Jehovah,{H3068} that I should hearken{H8085} unto his voice{H6963} to let Israel{H3478} go?{H7971} I know{H3045} not Jehovah,{H3068} and moreover I will not let Israel{H3478} go.{H7971}

And they said,{H559} The God{H430} of the Hebrews{H5680} hath met{H7122} with us: let us go,{H3212} we pray thee, three{H7969} days'{H3117} journey{H1870} into the wilderness,{H4057} and sacrifice{H2076} unto Jehovah{H3068} our God,{H430} lest he fall{H6293} upon us with pestilence,{H1698} or with the sword.{H2719}

And the king{H4428} of Egypt{H4714} said{H559} unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses{H4872} and Aaron,{H175} loose{H6544} the people{H5971} from their works?{H4639} get{H3212} you unto your burdens.{H5450}

And Pharaoh{H6547} said,{H559} Behold, the people{H5971} of the land{H776} are now many,{H7227} and ye make them rest{H7673} from their burdens.{H5450}

And the same day{H3117} Pharaoh{H6547} commanded{H6680} the taskmasters{H5065} of the people,{H5971} and their officers,{H7860} saying,{H559}

Ye shall no more{H3254} give{H5414} the people{H5971} straw{H8401} to make{H3835} brick,{H3843} as heretofore:{H8032} let them go{H3212} and gather{H7197} straw{H8401} for themselves.

And the number{H4971} of the bricks,{H3843} which they did make{H6213} heretofore,{H8032} ye shall lay{H7760} upon them; ye shall not diminish{H1639} aught thereof: for they are idle;{H7503} therefore they cry,{H6817} saying,{H559} Let us go{H3212} and sacrifice{H2076} to our God.{H430}

Let heavier work{H5656} be laid{H3513} upon the men,{H582} that they may labor{H6213} therein; and let them not regard{H8159} lying{H8267} words.{H1697}

And the taskmasters{H5065} of the people{H5971} went out,{H3318} and their officers,{H7860} and they spake{H559} to the people,{H5971} saying,{H559} Thus saith{H559} Pharaoh,{H6547} I will not give{H5414} you straw.{H8401}

Go{H3212} yourselves, get{H3947} you straw{H8401} where{H834} ye can find{H4672} it; for{H3588} nought{H1697} of your work{H5656} shall be diminished.{H1639}

So the people{H5971} were scattered abroad{H6327} throughout all the land{H776} of Egypt{H4714} to gather{H7197} stubble{H7179} for straw.{H8401}

And the taskmasters{H5065} were urgent,{H213} saying,{H559} Fulfil{H3615} your works,{H4639} [your] daily{H3117} tasks,{H1697} as when there was{H1961} straw.{H8401}

And the officers{H7860} of the children{H1121} of Israel,{H3478} whom Pharaoh's{H6547} taskmasters{H5065} had set{H7760} over them, were beaten,{H5221} and demanded,{H559} Wherefore have ye not fulfilled{H3615} your task{H2706} both yesterday{H8543} and to-day,{H3117} in making brick{H3835} as heretofore?{H8032}

Then the officers{H7860} of the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} came{H935} and cried{H6817} unto Pharaoh,{H6547} saying,{H559} Wherefore dealest{H6213} thou thus with thy servants?{H5650}

There is no straw{H8401} given{H5414} unto thy servants,{H5650} and they say{H559} to us, Make{H6213} brick:{H3843} and, behold, thy servants{H5650} are beaten;{H5221} but the fault{H2398} is in thine own people.{H5971}

But he said,{H559} Ye are idle,{H7503} ye are idle:{H7503} therefore ye say,{H559} Let us go{H3212} and sacrifice{H2076} to Jehovah.{H3068}

Go{H3212} therefore now, and work;{H5647} for there shall no straw{H8401} be given{H5414} you, yet shall ye deliver{H5414} the number{H8506} of bricks.{H3843}

And the officers{H7860} of the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} did see{H7200} that they were in evil{H7451} case, when it was said,{H559} Ye shall not diminish{H1639} aught from your bricks,{H3843} [your] daily{H3117} tasks.{H1697}

And they met{H6293} Moses{H4872} and Aaron,{H175} who stood{H5324} in the way,{H7125} as they came forth{H3318} from Pharaoh:{H6547}

and they said{H559} unto them, Jehovah{H3068} look{H7200} upon you, and judge;{H8199} because ye have made our savor{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{H2026} us.

And Moses{H4872} returned{H7725} unto Jehovah,{H136} and said,{H559} Lord,{H136} wherefore hast thou dealt ill{H7489} with this people?{H5971} why is it that thou hast sent{H7971} me?

For since I came{H935} to Pharaoh{H6547} to speak{H1696} in thy name,{H8034} he hath dealt ill{H7489} with this people;{H5971} neither hast thou delivered{H5337} thy people{H5971} at all.{H5337}
