CHAP. V.
1 Pharaoh chideth Moses and Aaron for their message. 5 Hee encreaseth the Israelites taske. 15 Hee checketh their complaints. 19 They cry out vpon Moses and Aaron. 22 Moses complaineth to God.
3 And they said, The God of the Hebrewes hath met with vs: let vs goe, we pray thee, three dayes iourney into the desert, and sacrifice vnto the Lord our God, lest hee fall vpon vs with pestilence, or with the sword.3
6 And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taske-masters of the people, and their officers, saying;
9 Let there more worke be layde vpon the men, that they may labour therein, and let them not regard vaine wordes.9
11 Goe ye, get you straw where you can find it: yet not ought of your worke shall be diminished.
13 And the taske-masters hasted them, saying; Fulfill your workes, your dayly taskes, as when there was straw.13
17 But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle: therefore ye say, Let vs goe and doe sacrifice to the Lord.
20 ¶ And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came foorth from Pharaoh.
21 And they said vnto them; The Lord looke vpon you, and iudge, because you haue made our sauour to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his seruants, to put a sword in their hand to slay vs.21
23 For since I came to Pharaoh to speake in thy Name, he hath done euill to this people, neither hast thou deliuered thy people at all.23
