5:1 And afterward 310 Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 went in 935 8804, and told 559 8799 Pharaoh 6547, Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478, Let my people 5971 go 7971 8761, that they may hold a feast 2287 8799 unto me in the wilderness 4057.

5:2 And Pharaoh 6547 said 559 8799, Who [is] the LORD 3068, that I should obey 8085 8799 his voice 6963 to let Israel 3478 go 7971 8763? I know 3045 8804 not the LORD 3068, neither will I let Israel 3478 go 7971 8762.

5:3 And they said 559 8799, The God 430 of the Hebrews 5680 hath met 7122 8738 with us: let us go 3212 8799, we pray thee, three 7969 days' 3117 journey 1870 into the desert 4057, and sacrifice 2076 8799 unto the LORD 3068 our God 430; lest he fall 6293 8799 upon us with pestilence 1698, or with the sword 2719.

5:4 And the king 4428 of Egypt 4714 said 559 8799 unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses 4872 and Aaron 175, let 6544 8686 the people 5971 from their works 4639? get 3212 8798 you unto your burdens 5450.

5:5 And Pharaoh 6547 said 559 8799, Behold, the people 5971 of the land 776 now [are] many 7227, and ye make them rest 7673 8689 from their burdens 5450.

5:6 And Pharaoh 6547 commanded 6680 8762 the same day 3117 the taskmasters 5065 8802 of the people 5971, and their officers 7860 8802, saying 559 8800,

5:7 Ye shall no more 3254 8686 give 5414 8800 the people 5971 straw 8401 to make 3835 8800 brick 3843, as heretofore 8032 8543: let them go 3212 8799 and gather 7197 8782 straw 8401 for themselves.

5:8 And the tale 4971 of the bricks 3843, which they did make 6213 8802 heretofore 8032 8543, ye shall lay 7760 8799 upon them; ye shall not diminish 1639 8799 [ought] thereof: for they [be] idle 7503 8737; therefore they cry 6817 8802, saying 559 8800, Let us go 3212 8799 [and] sacrifice 2076 8799 to our God 430.

5:9 Let there more work 5656 be laid 3513 8799 upon the men 582, that they may labour 6213 8799 therein; and let them not regard 8159 8799 vain 8267 words 1697.(Let there…: Heb. Let the work be heavy upon the men)

5:10 And the taskmasters 5065 8802 of the people 5971 went out 3318 8799, and their officers 7860 8802, and they spake 559 8799 to the people 5971, saying 559 8800, Thus saith 559 8804 Pharaoh 6547, I will not give 5414 8802 you straw 8401.

5:11 Go 3212 8798 ye, get 3947 8798 you straw 8401 where 834 ye can find 4672 8799 it: yet 3588 not ought 1697 of your work 5656 shall be diminished 1639 8737.

5:12 So the people 5971 were scattered abroad 6327 8686 throughout all the land 776 of Egypt 4714 to gather 7197 8780 stubble 7179 instead of straw 8401.

5:13 And the taskmasters 5065 8802 hasted 213 8801 [them], saying 559 8800, Fulfil 3615 8761 your works 4639, [your] daily 3117 tasks 1697, as when there was 1961 8800 straw 8401.(your daily…: Heb. a matter of a day in his day)

5:14 And the officers 7860 8802 of the children 1121 of Israel 3478, which Pharaoh's 6547 taskmasters 5065 8802 had set 7760 8804 over them, were beaten 5221 8714, [and] demanded 559 8800, Wherefore have ye not fulfilled 3615 8765 your task 2706 in making brick 3835 8800 both yesterday 8543 and to day 3117, as heretofore 8032 8543?

5:15 Then the officers 7860 8802 of the children 1121 of Israel 3478 came 935 8799 and cried 6817 8799 unto Pharaoh 6547, saying 559 8800, Wherefore dealest 6213 8799 thou thus with thy servants 5650?

5:16 There is no straw 8401 given 5414 8737 unto thy servants 5650, and they say 559 8802 to us, Make 6213 8798 brick 3843: and, behold, thy servants 5650 [are] beaten 5221 8716; but the fault 2398 8804 [is] in thine own people 5971.

5:17 But he said 559 8799, Ye [are] idle 7503 8737, [ye are] idle 7503 8737: therefore ye say 559 8802, Let us go 3212 8799 [and] do sacrifice 2076 8799 to the LORD 3068.

5:18 Go 3212 8798 therefore now, [and] work 5647 8798; for there shall no straw 8401 be given 5414 8735 you, yet shall ye deliver 5414 8799 the tale 8506 of bricks 3843.

5:19 And the officers 7860 8802 of the children 1121 of Israel 3478 did see 7200 8799 [that] they [were] in evil 7451 [case], after it was said 559 8800, Ye shall not minish 1639 8799 [ought] from your bricks 3843 of your daily 3117 3117 task 1697.

5:20 And they met 6293 8799 Moses 4872 and Aaron 175, who stood 5324 8737 in the way 7125 8800, as they came forth 3318 8800 from Pharaoh 6547:

5:21 And they said 559 8799 unto them, The LORD 3068 look 7200 8799 upon you, and judge 8199 8799; because ye have made our savour 7381 to be abhorred 887 8689 in the eyes 5869 of Pharaoh 6547, and in the eyes 5869 of his servants 5650, to put 5414 8800 a sword 2719 in their hand 3027 to slay 2026 8800 us.(to be…: Heb. to stink)

5:22 And Moses 4872 returned 7725 8799 unto the LORD 3068, and said 559 8799, Lord 136, wherefore hast thou [so] evil entreated 7489 8689 this people 5971? why [is] it [that] thou hast sent 7971 8804 me?

5:23 For since I came 935 8804 to Pharaoh 6547 to speak 1696 8763 in thy name 8034, he hath done evil 7489 8689 to this people 5971; neither hast thou delivered 5337 8689 thy people 5971 at all 5337 8687.(neither…: Heb. delivering thou hast not delivered)
