Read Bible Book Of Exodus Chapter 5 In Online
1 - Afterward Moses And Aaron Went To Pharaoh And Said, "This Is What The Lord , The God Of Israel, Says: 'Let My People Go, So That They May Hold A Festival To Me In The Desert.' "
2 - Pharaoh Said, "Who Is The Lord , That I Should Obey Him And Let Israel Go? I Do Not Know The Lord And I Will Not Let Israel Go."
3 - Then They Said, "The God Of The Hebrews Has Met With Us. Now Let Us Take A Three-day Journey Into The Desert To Offer Sacrifices To The Lord Our God, Or He May Strike Us With Plagues Or With The Sword."
4 - But The King Of Egypt Said, "Moses And Aaron, Why Are You Taking The People Away From Their Labor? Get Back To Your Work!"
5 - Then Pharaoh Said, "Look, The People Of The Land Are Now Numerous, And You Are Stopping Them From Working."
7 - "You Are No Longer To Supply The People With Straw For Making Bricks; Let Them Go And Gather Their Own Straw.
8 - But Require Them To Make The Same Number Of Bricks As Before; Don't Reduce The Quota. They Are Lazy; That Is Why They Are Crying Out, 'Let Us Go And Sacrifice To Our God.'
10 - Then The Slave Drivers And The Foremen Went Out And Said To The People, "This Is What Pharaoh Says: 'I Will Not Give You Any More Straw.
11 - Go And Get Your Own Straw Wherever You Can Find It, But Your Work Will Not Be Reduced At All.' "
13 - The Slave Drivers Kept Pressing Them, Saying, "Complete The Work Required Of You For Each Day, Just As When You Had Straw."
14 - The Israelite Foremen Appointed By Pharaoh's Slave Drivers Were Beaten And Were Asked, "Why Didn't You Meet Your Quota Of Bricks Yesterday Or Today, As Before?"
15 - Then The Israelite Foremen Went And Appealed To Pharaoh: "Why Have You Treated Your Servants This Way?
16 - Your Servants Are Given No Straw, Yet We Are Told, 'Make Bricks!' Your Servants Are Being Beaten, But The Fault Is With Your Own People."
17 - Pharaoh Said, "Lazy, That's What You Are-lazy! That Is Why You Keep Saying, 'Let Us Go And Sacrifice To The Lord .'
18 - Now Get To Work. You Will Not Be Given Any Straw, Yet You Must Produce Your Full Quota Of Bricks."
19 - The Israelite Foremen Realized They Were In Trouble When They Were Told, "You Are Not To Reduce The Number Of Bricks Required Of You For Each Day."
21 - And They Said, "May The Lord Look Upon You And Judge You! You Have Made Us A Stench To Pharaoh And His Officials And Have Put A Sword In Their Hand To Kill Us."
22 - Moses Returned To The Lord And Said, "O Lord, Why Have You Brought Trouble Upon This People? Is This Why You Sent Me?
23 - Ever Since I Went To Pharaoh To Speak In Your Name, He Has Brought Trouble Upon This People, And You Have Not Rescued Your People At All."
