  1 H310 Afterward H4872 Moses H175 and Aaron H3843 came, H559 and said H6547 to Pharaoh, H3068 "This is what Yahweh, H430 the God H1639 of Israel, H559 says, H5971 ‘Let my people H7971 go, H7503 that they H559 may hold a feast H4057 to me in the wilderness.'"
  2 H6547 Pharaoh H559 said, H3068 "Who is Yahweh, H8085 that I should listen H6963 to his voice H3478 to let Israel H7971 go? H3045 I don't know H3068 Yahweh, H3478 and moreover I will not let Israel H7971 go."
  3 H559 They said, H430 "The God H5680 of the Hebrews H7122 has met H3212 with us. Please let us go H7969 three H3117 days' H1870 journey H4057 into the wilderness, H2076 and sacrifice H3068 to Yahweh, H430 our God, H6293 lest he fall H1698 on us with pestilence, H2719 or with the sword."
  4 H4428 The king H4714 of Egypt H559 said H4872 to them, "Why do you, Moses H175 and Aaron, H6544 take H5971 the people H4639 from their work? H3212 Get H5450 back to your burdens!"
  5 H6547 Pharaoh H559 said, H5971 "Behold, the people H776 of the land H7227 are now many, H7673 and you make them rest H5450 from their burdens."
  6 H3117 The same day H6547 Pharaoh H6680 commanded H5065 the taskmasters H5971 of the people, H7860 and their officers, H559 saying,
  7 H5414 "You shall no longer give H5971 the people H8401 straw H3835 to make H3843 brick, H8032 as before. H3212 Let them go H7197 and gather H8401 straw for themselves.
  8 H4971 The number H3843 of the bricks, H6213 which they made H8032 before, H7760 you require H1639 from them. You shall not diminish H7503 anything of it, for they are idle; H6817 therefore they cry, H559 saying, H3212 ‘Let us go H2076 and sacrifice H430 to our God.'
  9 H5656 Let heavier work H3513 be laid H582 on the men, H6213 that they may labor H8159 therein; and don't let them pay any attention H8267 to lying H1697 words."
  10 H5065 The taskmasters H5971 of the people H3318 went out, H7860 and their officers, H559 and they spoke H5971 to the people, H559 saying, H6547 "This is what Pharaoh H559 says: H5414 ‘I will not give H8401 you straw.
  11 H3212 Go H3947 yourselves, get H8401 straw H834 where H4672 you can find H3588 it, for H1697 nothing H5656 of your work H1639 shall be diminished.'"
  12 H5971 So the people H6327 were scattered abroad H776 throughout all the land H4714 of Egypt H7197 to gather H7179 stubble H8401 for straw.
  13 H5065 The taskmasters H213 were urgent H559 saying, H3615 "Fulfill H4639 your work H1697 quota H3117 daily, H1961 as when there was H8401 straw!"
  14 H7860 The officers H1121 of the children H3478 of Israel, H6547 whom Pharaoh's H5065 taskmasters H7760 had set H5221 over them, were beaten, H559 and demanded, H3615 "Why haven't you fulfilled H2706 your quota H8543 both yesterday H3117 and today, H3835 in making brick H8032 as before?"
  15 H7860 Then the officers H1121 of the children H3478 of Israel H935 came H6817 and cried H6547 to Pharaoh, H559 saying, H6213 "Why do you deal H5650 this way with your servants?
  16 H8401 No straw H5414 is given H5650 to your servants, H559 and they tell H6213 us, ‘Make H3843 brick!' H5650 and behold, your servants H5221 are beaten; H2398 but the fault H5971 is in your own people."
  17 H559 But he said, H7503 "You are idle! H7503 You are idle! H559 Therefore you say, H3212 ‘Let us go H2076 and sacrifice H3068 to Yahweh.'
  18 H3212 Go H5647 therefore now, and work, H8401 for no straw H5414 shall be given H5414 to you, yet you shall deliver H8506 the same number H3843 of bricks!"
  19 H7860 The officers H1121 of the children H3478 of Israel H7200 saw H7451 that they were in trouble, H559 when it was said, H1639 "You shall not diminish H3117 anything from your daily H1697 quota H3843 of bricks!"
  20 H6293 They met H4872 Moses H175 and Aaron, H5324 who stood H7125 in the way, H3318 as they came out H6547 from Pharaoh:
  21 H559 and they said H3068 to them, "May Yahweh H7200 look H8199 at you, and judge, H7381 because you have made us a stench H887 to be abhorred H5869 in the eyes H6547 of Pharaoh, H5869 and in the eyes H5650 of his servants, H5414 to put H2719 a sword H3027 in their hand H2026 to kill us."
  22 H4872 Moses H7725 returned H136 to Yahweh, H559 and said, H136 "Lord, H7489 why have you brought trouble H5971 on this people? H7971 Why is it that you have sent me?
  23 H935 For since I came H6547 to Pharaoh H1696 to speak H8034 in your name, H7489 he has brought trouble H5971 on this people; H5337 neither have you delivered H5971 your people H5337 at all."
