<n id="1" /><p class="bodytext">Then Pharaoh quickly<n id="2" /> summoned Moses and Aaron and said, &#8220;I have sinned<n id="3" /> against the <sc>Lordsc> your God and against you!

You must serve<n id="1" /> the <sc>Lordsc> your God, and he<n id="2" /> will bless your bread and your water,<n id="3" /> and I will remove sickness from your midst.

I will take you to myself for a people, and I will be your God.<n id="1" /> Then you will know that I am the <sc>Lordsc> your God, who brought you out from your enslavement to<n id="2" /> the Egyptians.

<p class="bodytext">Pharaoh said, &#8220;I will release you<n id="1" /> so that you may sacrifice<n id="2" /> to the <sc>Lordsc> your God in the desert. Only you must not go very far.<n id="3" /> Do<n id="4" /> pray for me.&#8221;p>

<p class="bodytext">So Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh, and he said to them, &#8220;Go, serve the <sc>Lordsc> your God. Exactly who is going with you?&#8221;<n id="1" />

So now, forgive my sin this time only, and pray to the <sc>Lordsc> your God that he would only<n id="1" /> take this death<n id="2" /> away from me.&#8221;

&#8220;I have heard the murmurings of the Israelites. Tell them, &#8216;During the evening<n id="1" /> you will eat meat,<n id="2" /> and in the morning you will be satisfied<n id="3" /> with bread, so that you may know<n id="4" /> that I am the <sc>Lordsc> your God.&#8217;&#8221;<n id="5" />p>
