I do not know the LORD, and moreover I will not let Israel go." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/exodus/5-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>They said, "The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Please let us go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to our God, lest he fall on us with pestilence, or with the sword." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/exodus/5-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>The king of Egypt said to them, "Why do you, Moses and Aaron, take the people from their work? Get back to your burdens." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/exodus/5-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>Pharaoh said, "Look, the people of the land are now many, and you make them rest from their burdens." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/exodus/5-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>The same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying, <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/exodus/5-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>"You shall no longer give the people straw to make brick, as before. Let them go and gather straw for themselves. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/exodus/5-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>The number of the bricks, which they made before, you require from them. You shall not diminish anything of it, for they are idle; therefore they cry, saying, 'Let us go and sacrifice to our God.' <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/exodus/5-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>Let heavier work be laid on the men, so they may labor at it and pay no attention to lying words."<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/exodus/5-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>The taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spoke to the people, saying, "This is what Pharaoh says: 'I will not give you straw. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/exodus/5-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>Go yourselves, get straw where you can find it, for nothing of your work shall be diminished.'" <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/exodus/5-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather dry stalks for straw. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/exodus/5-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>The taskmasters kept pressing them, saying, "Fulfill your work quota, your daily amount, as when there was straw." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/exodus/5-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>The officers of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, "Why haven't you fulfilled your quota both yesterday and today, in making brick as before?"<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/exodus/5-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, saying, "Why do you deal this way with your servants? <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/exodus/5-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>No straw is given to your servants, and they tell us, 'Make brick.' and look, your servants are beaten; but the fault is in your own people." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/exodus/5-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>But he said, "You are idle.
