Exodus 5:1-23

5:1

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>_.

5:2

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)_.

5:3

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>_.

5:4

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>_.

5:5

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>_.

5:6

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)_,

5:7

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.

5:8

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>_.

5:9

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>_.

{Let there...: Heb. Let the work be heavy upon the men}

5:10

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>_.

5:11

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)_.

5:12

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>_.

5:13

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>_.

{your daily...: Heb. a matter of a day in his day}

5:14

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>_?

5:15

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>_?

5:16

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>_.

5:17

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>_.

5:18

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>_.

5:19

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>_.

5:20

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>_:

5:21

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. {to be...: Heb. to stink}

5:22

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?

5:23

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)_.

{neither...: Heb. delivering thou hast not delivered}
