Exodus 5:1-5

1And afterwards Moses and Aaron went in, and said to Pharaoh, Thus saith Jehovah, the 1God of Israel, Let my people go that they may celebrate a feast to me in the wilderness.

2And Pharaoh said, Who is Jehovah, to whose voice I am to hearken to let Israel go? I do not know Jehovah, neither will I let Israel go.

3And they said, The 2God of the Hebrews has met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to Jehovah our 3God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence or with sword.

4And the king of Egypt said to them, Why do ye, Moses and Aaron, wish to have the people go off from their works? Away, to your burdens!

5And Pharaoh said, Behold the people of the land are now many, and ye wish to make them rest from their burdens.
