Exodus 5

KJV

1  And afterward³¹⁰ Moses⁴⁸⁷² and Aaron¹⁷⁵ went in,⁹³⁵ and told^{559 413} Pharaoh,⁶⁵⁴⁷ Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ Let ⁸⁵³ my people⁵⁹⁷¹ go,⁷⁹⁷¹ that they may hold a feast²²⁸⁷ unto me in the wilderness.⁴⁰⁵⁷

2  And Pharaoh⁶⁵⁴⁷ said,⁵⁵⁹ Who⁴³¹⁰ is the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ that⁸³⁴ I should obey⁸⁰⁸⁵ his voice⁶⁹⁶³ to let ⁸⁵³ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ go?⁷⁹⁷¹ I know³⁰⁴⁵ not^{3808 853} the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ neither^{1571 3808} will I let ⁸⁵³ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ go.⁷⁹⁷¹

3  And they said,⁵⁵⁹ The God⁴³⁰ of the Hebrews⁵⁶⁸⁰ hath met⁷¹²² with⁵⁹²¹ us: let us go,¹⁹⁸⁰ we pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ days'³¹¹⁷ journey¹⁸⁷⁰ into the desert,⁴⁰⁵⁷ and sacrifice²⁰⁷⁶ unto the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God;⁴³⁰ lest⁶⁴³⁵ he fall upon⁶²⁹³ us with pestilence,¹⁶⁹⁸ or¹⁷⁶ with the sword.²⁷¹⁹

4  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Egypt⁴⁷¹⁴ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, Wherefore⁴¹⁰⁰ do ye, Moses⁴⁸⁷² and Aaron,¹⁷⁵ let^{6544 853} the people⁵⁹⁷¹ from their works?^{4480 4639} get¹⁹⁸⁰ you unto your burdens.⁵⁴⁵⁰

5  And Pharaoh⁶⁵⁴⁷ said,⁵⁵⁹ Behold,²⁰⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the land⁷⁷⁶ now⁶²⁵⁸ are many,⁷²²⁷ and ye make them rest^{7673 853} from their burdens.^{4480 5450}

6  And Pharaoh⁶⁵⁴⁷ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ the same¹⁹³¹ day^{3117 853} the taskmasters⁵⁰⁶⁵ of the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and their officers,⁷⁸⁶⁰ saying,⁵⁵⁹

7  Ye shall no³⁸⁰⁸ more³²⁵⁴ give⁵⁴¹⁴ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ straw⁸⁴⁰¹ to make³⁸³⁵ brick,³⁸⁴³ as heretofore:^{8543 8032} let them¹⁹⁹² go¹⁹⁸⁰ and gather⁷¹⁹⁷ straw⁸⁴⁰¹ for themselves.

8  And the tale⁴⁹⁷¹ of the bricks,³⁸⁴³ which⁸³⁴ they¹⁹⁹² did make⁶²¹³ heretofore,^{8543 8032} ye shall lay⁷⁷⁶⁰ upon⁵⁹²¹ them; ye shall not³⁸⁰⁸ diminish¹⁶³⁹ aught thereof:⁴⁴⁸⁰ for³⁵⁸⁸ they¹⁹⁹² be idle;⁷⁵⁰³ therefore^{5921 3651} they¹⁹⁹² cry,⁶⁸¹⁷ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Let us go¹⁹⁸⁰ and sacrifice²⁰⁷⁶ to our God.⁴³⁰

9  Let there more work be laid^{3513 5656} upon⁵⁹²¹ the men,³⁷⁶ that they may labor⁶²¹³ therein; and let them not⁴⁰⁸ regard⁸¹⁵⁹ vain⁸²⁶⁷ words.¹⁶⁹⁷

10  And the taskmasters⁵⁰⁶⁵ of the people⁵⁹⁷¹ went out,³³¹⁸ and their officers,⁷⁸⁶⁰ and they spoke⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ Pharaoh,⁶⁵⁴⁷ I will not³⁶⁹ give⁵⁴¹⁴ you straw.⁸⁴⁰¹

11  Go¹⁹⁸⁰ ye,⁸⁵⁹ get³⁹⁴⁷ you straw⁸⁴⁰¹ where^{4480 834} ye can find⁴⁶⁷² it: yet³⁵⁸⁸ not³⁶⁹ aught¹⁶⁹⁷ of your work^{4480 5656} shall be diminished.¹⁶³⁹

12  So the people⁵⁹⁷¹ were scattered abroad⁶³²⁷ throughout all³⁶⁰⁵ the land⁷⁷⁶ of Egypt⁴⁷¹⁴ to gather⁷¹⁹⁷ stubble⁷¹⁷⁹ instead of straw.⁸⁴⁰¹

13  And the taskmasters⁵⁰⁶⁵ hasted²¹³ them, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Fulfill³⁶¹⁵ your works,⁴⁶³⁹ your daily^{3117 3117} tasks,¹⁶⁹⁷ as when⁸³⁴ there was¹⁹⁶¹ straw.⁸⁴⁰¹

14  And the officers⁷⁸⁶⁰ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ which⁸³⁴ Pharaoh's⁶⁵⁴⁷ taskmasters⁵⁰⁶⁵ had set⁷⁷⁶⁰ over⁵⁹²¹ them, were beaten,⁵²²¹ and demanded,⁵⁵⁹ Wherefore⁴⁰⁶⁹ have ye not³⁸⁰⁸ fulfilled³⁶¹⁵ your task²⁷⁰⁶ in making brick³⁸³⁵ both¹⁵⁷¹ yesterday⁸⁵⁴³ and¹⁵⁷¹ today,³¹¹⁷ as heretofore?^{8543 8032}

15  Then the officers⁷⁸⁶⁰ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ came⁹³⁵ and cried⁶⁸¹⁷ unto⁴¹³ Pharaoh,⁶⁵⁴⁷ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Wherefore⁴¹⁰⁰ dealest⁶²¹³ thou thus³⁵⁴¹ with thy servants?⁵⁶⁵⁰

16  There is no³⁶⁹ straw⁸⁴⁰¹ given⁵⁴¹⁴ unto thy servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and they say⁵⁵⁹ to us, Make⁶²¹³ brick:³⁸⁴³ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ thy servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ are beaten;⁵²²¹ but the fault²³⁹⁸ is in thine own people.⁵⁹⁷¹

17  But he said,⁵⁵⁹ Ye⁸⁵⁹ are idle,⁷⁵⁰³ ye are idle:⁷⁵⁰³ therefore^{5921 3651} ye⁸⁵⁹ say,⁵⁵⁹ Let us go¹⁹⁸⁰ and do sacrifice²⁰⁷⁶ to the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

18  Go¹⁹⁸⁰ therefore now,⁶²⁵⁸ and work;⁵⁶⁴⁷ for there shall no³⁸⁰⁸ straw⁸⁴⁰¹ be given⁵⁴¹⁴ you, yet shall ye deliver⁵⁴¹⁴ the tale⁸⁵⁰⁶ of bricks.³⁸⁴³

19  And the officers⁷⁸⁶⁰ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ did see⁷²⁰⁰ that they were in evil⁷⁴⁵¹ case, after it was said,⁵⁵⁹ Ye shall not³⁸⁰⁸ minish¹⁶³⁹ aught from your bricks^{4480 3843} of your daily^{3117 3117} task.¹⁶⁹⁷

20  And they met^{6293 853} Moses⁴⁸⁷² and Aaron,¹⁷⁵ who stood⁵³²⁴ in the way,⁷¹²⁵ as they came forth³³¹⁸ from^{4480 854} Pharaoh:⁶⁵⁴⁷

21  And they said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ look⁷²⁰⁰ upon⁵⁹²¹ you, and judge;⁸¹⁹⁹ because⁸³⁴ ye have made ⁸⁵³ our savor⁷³⁸¹ to be abhorred⁸⁸⁷ in the eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ of Pharaoh,⁶⁵⁴⁷ and in the eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ of his servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ to put⁵⁴¹⁴ a sword²⁷¹⁹ in their hand³⁰²⁷ to slay²⁰²⁶ us.

22  And Moses⁴⁸⁷² returned⁷⁷²⁵ unto⁴¹³ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Lord,¹³⁶ wherefore⁴¹⁰⁰ hast thou so evil entreated⁷⁴⁸⁹ this²⁰⁸⁸ people?⁵⁹⁷¹ why⁴¹⁰⁰ is it²⁰⁸⁸ that thou hast sent⁷⁹⁷¹ me?

23  For since^{4480 227} I came⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ Pharaoh⁶⁵⁴⁷ to speak¹⁶⁹⁶ in thy name,⁸⁰³⁴ he hath done evil⁷⁴⁸⁹ to this²⁰⁸⁸ people;⁵⁹⁷¹ neither³⁸⁰⁸ hast thou delivered^{5337 853} thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ at all.⁵³³⁷

1 καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα εἰσῆλθεν Μωυσῆς καὶ Ααρων πρὸς Φαραω καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ τάδε λέγει κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ ἐξαπόστειλον τὸν λαόν μου ἵνα μοι ἑορτάσωσιν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ

2 καὶ εἶπεν Φαραω τίς ἐστιν οὗ εἰσακούσομαι τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ ὥστε ἐξαποστεῖλαι τοὺς υἱοὺς Ισραηλ οὐκ οἶδα τὸν κύριον καὶ τὸν Ισραηλ οὐκ ἐξαποστέλλω

3 καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ ὁ θεὸς τῶν Εβραίων προσκέκληται ἡμᾶς πορευσόμεθα οὖν ὁδὸν τριῶν ἡμερῶν εἰς τὴν ἔρημον ὅπως θύσωμεν τῷ θεῷ ἡμῶν μήποτε συναντήσῃ ἡμῖν θάνατος ἢ φόνος

4 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου ἵνα τί Μωυσῆ καὶ Ααρων διαστρέφετε τὸν λαόν μου ἀπὸ τῶν ἔργων ἀπέλθατε ἕκαστος ὑμῶν πρὸς τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ

5 καὶ εἶπεν Φαραω ἰδοὺ νῦν πολυπληθεῖ ὁ λαός μὴ οὖν καταπαύσωμεν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τῶν ἔργων

6 συνέταξεν δὲ Φαραω τοῖς ἐργοδιώκταις τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ τοῖς γραμματεῦσιν λέγων

7 οὐκέτι προστεθήσεται διδόναι ἄχυρον τῷ λαῷ εἰς τὴν πλινθουργίαν καθάπερ ἐχθὲς καὶ τρίτην ἡμέραν αὐτοὶ πορευέσθωσαν καὶ συναγαγέτωσαν ἑαυτοῖς ἄχυρα

8 καὶ τὴν σύνταξιν τῆς πλινθείας ἧς αὐτοὶ ποιοῦσιν καθ᾽ ἑκάστην ἡμέραν ἐπιβαλεῖς αὐτοῖς οὐκ ἀφελεῖς οὐδέν σχολάζουσιν γάρ διὰ τοῦτο κεκράγασιν λέγοντες πορευθῶμεν καὶ θύσωμεν τῷ θεῷ ἡμῶν

9 βαρυνέσθω τὰ ἔργα τῶν ἀνθρώπων τούτων καὶ μεριμνάτωσαν ταῦτα καὶ μὴ μεριμνάτωσαν ἐν λόγοις κενοῖς

10 κατέσπευδον δὲ αὐτοὺς οἱ ἐργοδιῶκται καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ ἔλεγον πρὸς τὸν λαὸν λέγοντες τάδε λέγει Φαραω οὐκέτι δίδωμι ὑμῖν ἄχυρα

11 αὐτοὶ ὑμεῖς πορευόμενοι συλλέγετε ἑαυτοῖς ἄχυρα ὅθεν ἐὰν εὕρητε οὐ γὰρ ἀφαιρεῖται ἀπὸ τῆς συντάξεως ὑμῶν οὐθέν

12 καὶ διεσπάρη ὁ λαὸς ἐν ὅλῃ Αἰγύπτῳ συναγαγεῖν καλάμην εἰς ἄχυρα

13 οἱ δὲ ἐργοδιῶκται κατέσπευδον αὐτοὺς λέγοντες συντελεῖτε τὰ ἔργα τὰ καθήκοντα καθ᾽ ἡμέραν καθάπερ καὶ ὅτε τὸ ἄχυρον ἐδίδοτο ὑμῖν

14 καὶ ἐμαστιγώθησαν οἱ γραμματεῖς τοῦ γένους τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ οἱ κατασταθέντες ἐπ᾽ αὐτοὺς ὑπὸ τῶν ἐπιστατῶν τοῦ Φαραω λέγοντες διὰ τί οὐ συνετελέσατε τὰς συντάξεις ὑμῶν τῆς πλινθείας καθάπερ ἐχθὲς καὶ τρίτην ἡμέραν καὶ τὸ τῆς σήμερον

15 εἰσελθόντες δὲ οἱ γραμματεῖς τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ κατεβόησαν πρὸς Φαραω λέγοντες ἵνα τί οὕτως ποιεῖς τοῖς σοῖς οἰκέταις

16 ἄχυρον οὐ δίδοται τοῖς οἰκέταις σου καὶ τὴν πλίνθον ἡμῖν λέγουσιν ποιεῖν καὶ ἰδοὺ οἱ παῖδές σου μεμαστίγωνται ἀδικήσεις οὖν τὸν λαόν σου

17 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς σχολάζετε σχολασταί ἐστε διὰ τοῦτο λέγετε πορευθῶμεν θύσωμεν τῷ θεῷ ἡμῶν

18 νῦν οὖν πορευθέντες ἐργάζεσθε τὸ γὰρ ἄχυρον οὐ δοθήσεται ὑμῖν καὶ τὴν σύνταξιν τῆς πλινθείας ἀποδώσετε

19 ἑώρων δὲ οἱ γραμματεῖς τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ ἑαυτοὺς ἐν κακοῖς λέγοντες οὐκ ἀπολείψετε τῆς πλινθείας τὸ καθῆκον τῇ ἡμέρᾳ

20 συνήντησαν δὲ Μωυσῇ καὶ Ααρων ἐρχομένοις εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτοῖς ἐκπορευομένων αὐτῶν ἀπὸ Φαραω

21 καὶ εἶπαν αὐτοῖς ἴδοι ὁ θεὸς ὑμᾶς καὶ κρίναι ὅτι ἐβδελύξατε τὴν ὀσμὴν ἡμῶν ἐναντίον Φαραω καὶ ἐναντίον τῶν θεραπόντων αὐτοῦ δοῦναι ῥομφαίαν εἰς τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ ἀποκτεῖναι ἡμᾶς

22 ἐπέστρεψεν δὲ Μωυσῆς πρὸς κύριον καὶ εἶπεν κύριε διὰ τί ἐκάκωσας τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον καὶ ἵνα τί ἀπέσταλκάς με

23 καὶ ἀφ᾽ οὗ πεπόρευμαι πρὸς Φαραω λαλῆσαι ἐπὶ τῷ σῷ ὀνόματι ἐκάκωσεν τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον καὶ οὐκ ἐρρύσω τὸν λαόν σου

1 Post hæc ingressi sunt Moyses et Aaron, et dixerunt Pharaoni: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israël: Dimitte populum meum ut sacrificet mihi in deserto.

2 At ille respondit: Quis est Dominus, ut audiam vocem ejus, et dimittam Israël? nescio Dominum, et Israël non dimittam.

3 Dixeruntque: Deus Hebræorum vocavit nos, ut eamus viam trium dierum in solitudinem, et sacrificemus Domino Deo nostro: ne forte accidat nobis pestis aut gladius.

4 Ait ad eos rex Ægypti: Quare Moyses et Aaron sollicitatis populum ab operibus suis? ite ad onera vestra.

5 Dixitque Pharao: Multus est populus terræ: videtis quod turba succreverit: quanto magis si dederitis eis requiem ab operibus?

6 Præcepit ergo in die illo præfectis operum et exactoribus populi, dicens:

7 Nequaquam ultra dabitis paleas populo ad conficiendos lateres, sicut prius: sed ipsi vadant, et colligant stipulas.

8 Et mensuram laterum, quam prius faciebant, imponetis super eos, nec minuetis quidquam: vacant enim, et idcirco vociferantur, dicentes: Eamus, et sacrificemus Deo nostro.

9 Opprimantur operibus, et expleant ea: ut non acquiescant verbis mendacibus.

10 Igitur egressi præfecti operum et exactores ad populum, dixerunt: Sic dicit Pharao: Non do vobis paleas:

11 ite, et colligite sicubi invenire poteritis, nec minuetur quidquam de opere vestro.

12 Dispersusque est populus per omnem terram Ægypti ad colligendas paleas.

13 Præfecti quoque operum instabant, dicentes: Complete opus vestrum quotidie, ut prius facere solebatis quando dabantur vobis paleæ.

14 Flagellatique sunt qui præerant operibus filiorum Israël, ab exactoribus Pharaonis, dicentibus: Quare non impletis mensuram laterum sicut prius, nec heri, nec hodie?

15 Veneruntque præpositi filiorum Israël, et vociferati sunt ad Pharaonem dicentes: Cur ita agis contra servos tuos?

16 paleæ non dantur nobis, et lateres similiter imperantur: en famuli tui flagellis cædimur, et injuste agitur contra populum tuum.

17 Qui ait: Vacatis otio, et idcirco dicitis: Eamus, et sacrificemus Domino.

18 Ite ergo, et operamini: paleæ non dabuntur vobis, et reddetis consuetum numerum laterum.

19 Videbantque se præpositi filiorum Israël in malo, eo quod diceretur eis: Non minuetur quidquam de lateribus per singulos dies.

20 Occurreruntque Moysi et Aaron, qui stabant ex adverso, egredientibus a Pharaone:

21 et dixerunt ad eos: Videat Dominus et judicet, quoniam fœtere fecistis odorem nostrum coram Pharaone et servis ejus, et præbuistis ei gladium, ut occideret nos.

22 Reversusque est Moyses ad Dominum, et ait: Domine, cur afflixisti populum istum? quare misisti me?

23 ex eo enim quo ingressus sum ad Pharaonem ut loquerer in nomine tuo, afflixit populum tuum: et non liberasti eos.
