Exodus 5

1 Pharaoh chideth Moses and Aaron for their message. 5 He increaseth the Israelites' task. 15 He checketh their complaints. 20 They cry out upon Moses and Aaron. 22 Moses complaineth to God.

 5:1 ¶ And afterward 310 Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 went in, 935 z8804 and told 559 z8799 x413 Pharaoh, 6547 Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel, 3478 Let x853 my people 5971 go, 7971 z8761 that they may hold a feast 2287 z8799 unto me in the wilderness. 4057

 5:2 And Pharaoh 6547 said, 559 z8799 Who x4310 [is] the LORD, 3068 that x834 I should obey 8085 z8799 his voice 6963 to let x853 Israel 3478 go? 7971 z8763 I know 3045 z8804 not x3808 x853 the LORD, 3068 neither x1571 x3808 will I let x853 Israel 3478 go. 7971 z8762

 5:3 And they said, 559 z8799 The God 430 of the Hebrews 5680 hath met 7122 z8738 with x5921 us: let us go, y3212 z8799 x1980 we pray thee, x4994 three 7969 days' 3117 journey 1870 into the desert, 4057 and sacrifice 2076 z8799 unto the LORD 3068 our God; 430 lest x6435 he fall y6293 z8799 upon x6293 us with pestilence, 1698 or x176 with the sword. 2719

 5:4 And the king 4428 of Egypt 4714 said 559 z8799 unto x413 them, Wherefore x4100 do ye, Moses 4872 and Aaron, 175 let 6544 z8686 x853 the people 5971 from their works? 4639 x4480 get y3212 z8798 x1980 you unto your burdens. 5450

 5:5 And Pharaoh 6547 said, 559 z8799 Behold, x2005 the people 5971 of the land 776 now x6258 [are] many, 7227 and ye make them rest 7673 z8689 x853 from their burdens. 5450 x4480

 5:6 And Pharaoh 6547 commanded 6680 z8762 the same x1931 day 3117 x853 the taskmasters 5065 z8802 of the people, 5971 and their officers, 7860 z8802 saying, 559 z8800

 5:7 Ye shall no x3808 more 3254 z8686 give 5414 z8800 the people 5971 straw 8401 to make 3835 z8800 brick, 3843 as heretofore: 8032 8543 let them x1992 go y3212 z8799 x1980 and gather 7197 z8782 straw 8401 for themselves.

 5:8 And the tale 4971 of the bricks, 3843 which x834 they x1992 did make 6213 z8802 heretofore, 8032 8543 ye shall lay 7760 z8799 upon x5921 them; ye shall not x3808 diminish 1639 z8799 [ought] thereof: x4480 for x3588 they x1992 [be] idle; 7503 z8737 therefore x5921 x3651 they x1992 cry, 6817 z8802 saying, 559 z8800 Let us go y3212 z8799 x1980 [and] sacrifice 2076 z8799 to our God. 430

 5:9 Let there more work y5656 be laid 3513 z8799 x5656 upon x5921 the men, y582 x376 that they may labour 6213 z8799 therein; and let them not x408 regard 8159 z8799 vain 8267 words. 1697

 5:10 ¶ And the taskmasters 5065 z8802 of the people 5971 went out, 3318 z8799 and their officers, 7860 z8802 and they spake 559 z8799 to x413 the people, 5971 saying, 559 z8800 Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 Pharaoh, 6547 I will not x369 give 5414 z8802 you straw. 8401

 5:11 Go y3212 z8798 x1980 ye, x859 get 3947 z8798 you straw 8401 where 834 x4480 ye can find 4672 z8799 it: yet 3588 not x369 ought 1697 of your work 5656 x4480 shall be diminished. 1639 z8737

 5:12 So the people 5971 were scattered abroad 6327 z8686 throughout all x3605 the land 776 of Egypt 4714 to gather 7197 z8780 stubble 7179 instead of straw. 8401

 5:13 And the taskmasters 5065 z8802 hasted 213 z8801 [them], saying, 559 z8800 Fulfil 3615 z8761 your works, 4639 [your] daily 3117 tasks, 1697 as when x834 there was 1961 z8800 straw. 8401

 5:14 And the officers 7860 z8802 of the children 1121 of Israel, 3478 which x834 Pharaoh's 6547 taskmasters 5065 z8802 had set 7760 z8804 over x5921 them, were beaten, 5221 z8714 [and] demanded, 559 z8800 Wherefore x4069 have ye not x3808 fulfilled 3615 z8765 your task 2706 in making brick 3835 z8800 both x1571 yesterday 8543 and x1571 to day, 3117 as heretofore? 8032 8543

 5:15 ¶ Then the officers 7860 z8802 of the children 1121 of Israel 3478 came 935 z8799 and cried 6817 z8799 unto x413 Pharaoh, 6547 saying, 559 z8800 Wherefore x4100 dealest 6213 z8799 thou thus x3541 with thy servants? 5650

 5:16 There is no x369 straw 8401 given 5414 z8737 unto thy servants, 5650 and they say 559 z8802 to us, Make 6213 z8798 brick: 3843 and, behold, x2009 thy servants 5650 [are] beaten; 5221 z8716 but the fault 2398 z8804 [is] in thine own people. 5971

 5:17 But he said, 559 z8799 Ye x859 [are] idle, 7503 z8737 [ye are] idle: 7503 z8737 therefore x5921 x3651 ye x859 say, 559 z8802 Let us go y3212 z8799 x1980 [and] do sacrifice 2076 z8799 to the LORD. 3068

 5:18 Go y3212 z8798 x1980 therefore now, x6258 [and] work; 5647 z8798 for there shall no x3808 straw 8401 be given 5414 z8735 you, yet shall ye deliver 5414 z8799 the tale 8506 of bricks. 3843

 5:19 And the officers 7860 z8802 of the children 1121 of Israel 3478 did see 7200 z8799 [that] they [were] in evil 7451 [case], after it was said, 559 z8800 Ye shall not x3808 minish 1639 z8799 [ought] from your bricks 3843 x4480 of your daily 3117 task. 1697

 5:20 ¶ And they met 6293 z8799 x853 Moses 4872 and Aaron, 175 who stood 5324 z8737 in the way, 7125 z8800 as they came forth 3318 z8800 from x4480 x854 Pharaoh: 6547

 5:21 And they said 559 z8799 unto x413 them, The LORD 3068 look 7200 z8799 upon x5921 you, and judge; 8199 z8799 because x834 ye have made x853 our savour 7381 to be abhorred 887 z8689 in the eyes 5869 of Pharaoh, 6547 and in the eyes 5869 of his servants, 5650 to put 5414 z8800 a sword 2719 in their hand 3027 to slay 2026 z8800 us.

 5:22 And Moses 4872 returned 7725 z8799 unto x413 the LORD, 3068 and said, 559 z8799 Lord, 136 wherefore x4100 hast thou [so] evil entreated 7489 z8689 this x2088 people? 5971 why x4100 [is] it x2088 [that] thou hast sent 7971 z8804 me?

 5:23 For since x4480 x227 I came 935 z8804 to x413 Pharaoh 6547 to speak 1696 z8763 in thy name, 8034 he hath done evil 7489 z8689 to this x2088 people; 5971 neither x3808 hast thou delivered 5337 z8689 x853 thy people 5971 at all. 5337 z8687
