Pharaoh's Displeasure, He Increases The Tasks Of The Yisraelites

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 5:1

  1     ?  And afterward Mosheh and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith YAHWEH the Sovereign Ruler of Yisrael, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 5:2

  2    And Pharaoh said, Who is YAHWEH, that I should obey his voice to let Yisrael go? I know not YAHWEH, neither will I let Yisrael go.

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 5:3

  3     ?  And they said, YAHWEH the Sovereign Ruler of the Hebrews has met with us: let us go, we pray you, three days' journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto YAHWEH our ABBA; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 5:4

  4    And the king of Egypt said to them, Wherefore do you, Mosheh and Aaron, let the people from their works? get you unto your burdens.

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 5:5

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

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 5:6

  6    And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 5:7

  7    You shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 5:8

  8    And the tale of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, you shall lay upon them; you shall not diminish ought thereof: for they be idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our YAHWEH.

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 5:9

  9    Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labour therein; and let them not regard vain words.

The Sufferings Of The Yisraelites, Mosheh' Complaint To YAHWEH

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 5:10

  10     ?  And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spoke to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you straw.

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 5:11

  11    Go you, get you straw where you can find it: yet not ought of your work shall be diminished.

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 5:12

  12    So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw.

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 5:13

  13    And the taskmasters hasted them, saying, Fulfil your works, your daily tasks, as when there was straw.

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 5:14

  14    And the officers of the children of Yisrael, which Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, Wherefore have you not fulfilled your task in making brick both yesterday and to day, as heretofore?

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 5:15

  15     ?  Then the officers of the children of Yisrael came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore deal you thus with your servants?

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 5:16

  16    There is no straw given unto your servants, and they say to us, Make brick: and, behold, your servants are beaten; but the fault is in your own people.

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 5:17

  17    But he said, You are idle, you are idle: therefore you say, Let us go and do sacrifice to YAHWEH.

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 5:18

  18    Go therefore now, and work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall you deliver the tale of bricks.

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 5:19

  19    And the officers of the children of Yisrael did see that they were in evil case, after it was said, You shall not minish ought from your bricks of your daily task.

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 5:20

  20    And they met Mosheh and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh:

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 5:21

  21    And they said to them, YAHWEH look upon you, and judge; because you have made our savour to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us.

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 5:22

  22    And Mosheh returned unto Sovereign YAHWEH, and said, YAHWEH, wherefore have you so evil entreated this people? why is it that you have sent me?

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 5:23

  23    For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has done evil to this people; neither have you delivered your people at all.
