1 # And afterward <0310> Moses <04872> and Aaron <0175> went in <0935> (8804), and told <0559> (8799) Pharaoh <06547>, Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>, Let my people <05971> go <07971> (8761), that they may hold a feast <02287> (8799) unto me in the wilderness <04057>.
2 And Pharaoh <06547> said <0559> (8799), Who is the LORD <03068>, that I should obey <08085> (8799) his voice <06963> to let Israel <03478> go <07971> (8763)? I know <03045> (8804) not the LORD <03068>, neither will I let Israel <03478> go <07971> (8762).
3 # And they said <0559> (8799), The God <0430> of the Hebrews <05680> hath met <07122> (8738) with us: let us go <03212> (8799), we pray thee, three <07969> days <03117>' journey <01870> into the desert <04057>, and sacrifice <02076> (8799) unto the LORD <03068> our God <0430>; lest he fall <06293> (8799) upon us with pestilence <01698>, or with the sword <02719>.
4 And the king <04428> of Egypt <04714> said <0559> (8799) unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses <04872> and Aaron <0175>, let <06544> (8686) the people <05971> from their works <04639>? get <03212> (8798) you unto your burdens <05450>.
5 And Pharaoh <06547> said <0559> (8799), Behold, the people <05971> of the land <0776> now are many <07227>, and ye make them rest <07673> (8689) from their burdens <05450>.
6 And Pharaoh <06547> commanded <06680> (8762) the same day <03117> the taskmasters <05065> (8802) of the people <05971>, and their officers <07860> (8802), saying <0559> (8800),
7 Ye shall no more <03254> (8686) give <05414> (8800) the people <05971> straw <08401> to make <03835> (8800) brick <03843>, as heretofore <08032> <08543>: let them go <03212> (8799) and gather <07197> (8782) straw <08401> for themselves.
8 And the tale <04971> of the bricks <03843>, which they did make <06213> (8802) heretofore <08032> <08543> , ye shall lay <07760> (8799) upon them; ye shall not diminish <01639> (8799) ought thereof: for they be idle <07503> (8737); therefore they cry <06817> (8802), saying <0559> (8800), Let us go <03212> (8799) and sacrifice <02076> (8799) to our God <0430>.
9 Let there more work <05656> be laid <03513> (8799) upon the men <0582>, that they may labour <06213> (8799) therein; and let them not regard <08159> (8799) vain <08267> words <01697>.
10 # And the taskmasters <05065> (8802) of the people <05971> went out <03318> (8799), and their officers <07860> (8802), and they spake <0559> (8799) to the people <05971>, saying <0559> (8800), Thus saith <0559> (8804) Pharaoh <06547>, I will not give <05414> (8802) you straw <08401>.
11 Go <03212> (8798) ye, get <03947> (8798) you straw <08401> where <0834> ye can find <04672> (8799) it: yet <03588> not ought <01697> of your work <05656> shall be diminished <01639> (8737).
12 So the people <05971> were scattered abroad <06327> (8686) throughout all the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> to gather <07197> (8780) stubble <07179> instead of straw <08401>.
13 And the taskmasters <05065> (8802) hasted <0213> (8801) them, saying <0559> (8800), Fulfil <03615> (8761) your works <04639>, your daily <03117> tasks <01697>, as when there was <01961> (8800) straw <08401>.
14 And the officers <07860> (8802) of the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, which Pharaoh's <06547> taskmasters <05065> (8802) had set <07760> (8804) over them, were beaten <05221> (8714), and demanded <0559> (8800), Wherefore have ye not fulfilled <03615> (8765) your task <02706> in making brick <03835> (8800) both yesterday <08543> and to day <03117>, as heretofore <08032> <08543>?
15 # Then the officers <07860> (8802) of the children <01121> of Israel <03478> came <0935> (8799) and cried <06817> (8799) unto Pharaoh <06547>, saying <0559> (8800), Wherefore dealest <06213> (8799) thou thus with thy servants <05650>?
16 There is no straw <08401> given <05414> (8737) unto thy servants <05650>, and they say <0559> (8802) to us, Make <06213> (8798) brick <03843>: and, behold, thy servants <05650> are beaten <05221> (8716); but the fault <02398> (8804) is in thine own people <05971>.
17 But he said <0559> (8799), Ye are idle <07503> (8737), ye are idle <07503> (8737) : therefore ye say <0559> (8802), Let us go <03212> (8799) and do sacrifice <02076> (8799) to the LORD <03068> .
18 Go <03212> (8798) therefore now, and work <05647> (8798); for there shall no straw <08401> be given <05414> (8735) you, yet shall ye deliver <05414> (8799) the tale <08506> of bricks <03843>.
19 And the officers <07860> (8802) of the children <01121> of Israel <03478> did see <07200> (8799) that they were in evil <07451> case, after it was said <0559> (8800), Ye shall not minish <01639> (8799) ought from your bricks <03843> of your daily <03117> <03117> task <01697>.
20 And they met <06293> (8799) Moses <04872> and Aaron <0175>, who stood <05324> (8737) in the way <07125> (8800), as they came forth <03318> (8800) from Pharaoh <06547>:
21 And they said <0559> (8799) unto them, The LORD <03068> look <07200> (8799) upon you, and judge <08199> (8799); because ye have made our savour <07381> to be abhorred <0887> (8689) in the eyes <05869> of Pharaoh <06547>, and in the eyes <05869> of his servants <05650>, to put <05414> (8800) a sword <02719> in their hand <03027> to slay <02026> (8800) us.
22 And Moses <04872> returned <07725> (8799) unto the LORD <03068>, and said <0559> (8799), Lord <0136>, wherefore hast thou so evil entreated <07489> (8689) this people <05971>? why is it that thou hast sent <07971> (8804) me?
23 For since I came <0935> (8804) to Pharaoh <06547> to speak <01696> (8763) in thy name <08034>, he hath done evil <07489> (8689) to this people <05971>; neither hast thou delivered <05337> (8689) thy people <05971> at all <05337> (8687).
