Exodus 5:1-10

1And afterward MosesH4872 and AaronH175 cameH935, and saidH559 unto PharaohH6547, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, Let my peopleH5971 goH935, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wildernessH4057. 2And PharaohH6547 saidH559, Who is Jehovah, that I should hearken unto his voiceH6963 to let IsraelH3478 goH7971? I knowH3045 not Jehovah, and moreover I will not let IsraelH3478 goH7971. 3And they saidH559, The GodH430 of the HebrewsH5680 hath metH7122 with us: let us go, we pray thee, threeH7969 days’H3117 journeyH1870 into the wildernessH4057, and sacrificeH2076 unto Jehovah our GodH430, lestH6435 he fallH6293 upon us with pestilenceH1698, or with the swordH2719. 4And the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 saidH559 unto them, Wherefore do ye, MosesH4872 and AaronH175, loose the peopleH5971 from their worksH4639? get you unto your burdens. 5And PharaohH6547 saidH559, Behold, the peopleH5971 of the landH776 are nowH6258 manyH7227, and ye make them rest from their burdens. 6And the same dayH3117 PharaohH6547 commandedH6680 the taskmastersH5065 of the peopleH5971, and their officersH7860, sayingH559, 7Ye shall no more giveH5414 the peopleH5971 strawH8401 to makeH5414 brickH3843, as heretofore: let them go and gather strawH8401 for themselves. 8And the number of the bricksH3843, which they did makeH7760 heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish aught thereof: for they are idle; thereforeH3651 they cryH6817, sayingH559, Let us goH7503 and sacrificeH2076 to our GodH430. 9Let heavierH3513 workH5656 be laid upon the menH376, that they may laborH5656 therein; and let them not regard lyingH8267 wordsH1697.

10And the taskmastersH5065 of the peopleH5971 wentH3318 out, and their officersH7860, and they spake to the peopleH5971, sayingH559, ThusH3541 saith PharaohH6547, I will not giveH5414 you strawH8401.
