2 And Pharaoh said, Who is the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Isracl go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go.

3 And they said, d The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the desert, and sacri fice unto the LORD our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.

4 And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, let the people from their works? get you unto your e burdens.

5 And Pharaoh said, Behold, the f ch. 1. 7, 9. people of the land now are f many, and ye make them rest from their burdens.

The Israelites' task increased.

not diminish aught thereof: for they be idle; therefore they cry. saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.

9 Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labour therein and let them not regard vain words.

10 And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spake to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you straw.

11 Go ye, get you straw where ye can find it: yet not aught of your work shall be diminished.

12 So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt, to gather stubble instead of

straw.

13 And the taskmasters hasted them, saying, Fulfil your works, your daily tasks, as when there

was straw.

14 And the officers of the children of Israel, which Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your task in making brick, both yesterday and to-day, as heretofore?

15 Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants?

16 There is no straw given unto thy servants, and they say to us, Make brick and behold, thy servants are beaten; but the fault is in thine own people.

17 But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle therefore ye say, Let us go, and do sacrifice to the LORD.

18 Go therefore now, and work: for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks.

19 And the officers of the children of Israel did see that they were in evil case, after it was said, Ye shall not minish aught from your bricks of your daily task.

20 And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh:
