Exodus 5:1-3

NSB(i) 1 Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh. They said: »Jehovah, the God of Israel, says: ‘Let My people go that they may celebrate a feast to me in the wilderness.’« 2 But Pharaoh responded: »Who is Jehovah, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I do not know Jehovah, and besides, I will not let Israel go.« 3 Then they said: »The God of the Hebrews met with us. Please, let us go on a three-day journey into the wilderness. Then we may sacrifice to Jehovah our God. Otherwise he will fall upon us with pestilence or with the sword.«
