1And after this went in Moses and Aaron to Pharao, and they said to him, These things says the Lord God of Israel, Send my people away, that they may keep a feast to me in the wilderness.
1Afterward Moses and Aaron came, and said to Pharaoh, “This is what Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, ‘Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to me in the wilderness.’”
2And Pharao said, Who is he that I should hearken to his voice, so that I should send away the children of Israel ? I do not know the Lord, and I will not let Israel go.
2Pharaoh said, “Who is Yahweh, that I should listen to his voice to let Israel go? I don’t know Yahweh, and moreover I will not let Israel go.”
3And they say to him, The God of the Hebrews has called us to him: we will go therefore a three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God, lest at any time death or slaughter happen to us .
3They said, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Please let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to Yahweh, our God, lest he fall on us with pestilence, or with the sword.”
4And the king of Egypt said to them, Why do ye, Moses and Aaron, turn the people from their works? depart each of you to your works.
4The king of Egypt said to them, “Why do you, Moses and Aaron, take the people from their work? Get back to your burdens!”
5And Pharao said, Behold now, the people is very numerous; let us not then give them rest from their work.
5Pharaoh said, “Behold, the people of the land are now many, and you make them rest from their burdens.”
6And Pharao gave orders to the task-masters of the people and the accountants, saying,
6The same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people and their officers, saying,
7Ye shall no longer give straw to the people for brick-making as yesterday and the third day; but let them go themselves, and collect straw for themselves.
7“You shall no longer give the people straw to make brick, as before. Let them go and gather straw for themselves.
8And thou shalt impose on them daily the rate of brick-making which they perform: thou shalt not abate anything , for they are idle; therefore have they cried, saying, Let us arise and do sacrifice to our God.
8You shall require from them the number of the bricks which they made before. You shall not diminish anything of it, for they are idle. Therefore they cry, saying, ‘Let’s go and sacrifice to our God.’
9Let the works of these men be made grievous, and let them care for these things, and not care for vain words.
9Let heavier work be laid on the men, that they may labor in it. Don’t let them pay any attention to lying words.”
10And the taskmasters and the accountants hastened them, and they spoke to the people, saying, Thus says Pharao, I [will] give you straw no longer.
10The taskmasters of the people went out with their officers, and they spoke to the people, saying, “This is what Pharaoh says: ‘I will not give you straw.
11Go ye, yourselves, get for yourselves straw whencesoever ye can find it, for nothing is diminished from your rate.
11Go yourselves, get straw where you can find it, for nothing of your work shall be diminished.’”
12So the people were dispersed in all the land of Egypt, to gather stubble for straw.
12So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.
13And the taskmasters hastened them, saying, Fulfil your regular daily tasks, even as when straw was given you.
13The taskmasters were urgent saying, “Fulfill your work quota daily, as when there was straw!”
14And the accountants of the race of the children of Israel, who were set over them by the masters of Pharao, were scourged, [[and questioned],] [men] saying, Why have ye not fulfilled your rates of brick-work as yesterday and the third day, to-day also?
14The officers of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh’s taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and were asked, “Why haven’t you fulfilled your quota both yesterday and today, in making brick as before?”
15And the accountants of the children of Israel went in and cried to Pharao, saying, Why dost thou act thus to thy servants?
15Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, saying, “Why do you deal this way with your servants?
16Straw is not given to thy servants, and they tell us to make brick; and behold thy servants have been scourged: thou wilt therefore injure thy people.
16No straw is given to your servants, and they tell us, ‘Make brick!’ and behold, your servants are beaten; but the fault is in your own people.”
17And he said to them, Ye are idle, ye are idlers: therefore ye say, Let us go [and] do sacrifice to our God.
17But Pharaoh said, “You are idle! You are idle! Therefore you say, ‘Let’s go and sacrifice to Yahweh.’
18Now then go and work, for straw shall not be given to you, yet ye shall return the rate of bricks.
18Go therefore now, and work; for no straw shall be given to you; yet you shall deliver the same number of bricks!”
19And the accountants of the children of Israel saw themselves in an evil plight, [men] saying, Ye shall not fail to deliver the daily rate of the brick-making.
19The officers of the children of Israel saw that they were in trouble when it was said, “You shall not diminish anything from your daily quota of bricks!”
20And they met Moses and Aaron coming forth to meet them, as they came forth from Pharao.
20They met Moses and Aaron, who stood along the way, as they came out from Pharaoh.
21And they said to them, The Lord look upon you and judge you, for ye have made our savour abominable before Pharao, and before his servants, to put a sword into his hands to slay us.
21They said to them, “May Yahweh look at you and judge, because you have made us a stench to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to kill us!”
22And Moses turned to the Lord, and said, I pray, Lord, why hast thou afflicted this people? and wherefore hast thou sent me?
22Moses returned to Yahweh, and said, “Lord, why have you brought trouble on this people? Why is it that you have sent me?
23For from the time that I went to Pharao to speak in thy name, he has afflicted this people, and thou hast not delivered thy people.
23For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has brought trouble on this people. You have not rescued your people at all!”
1And the Lord said to Moses, Now thou shalt see what I will do to Pharao; for he shall send them forth with a mighty hand, and with a high arm shall he cast them out of his land.
1Yahweh said to Moses, “Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh, for by a strong hand he shall let them go, and by a strong hand he shall drive them out of his land.”
2And God spoke to Mosesand said to him, I [am] the Lord.
2God spoke to Moses, and said to him, “I am Yahweh.
3And I appeared to Abraam and Isaacand Jacob, being their God, but I did not manifest to them my name Lord.
3I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty; but by my name Yahweh I was not known to them.
4And I established my covenant with them, to give them the land of the Chananites, the land wherein they sojourned, in which also they dwelt as strangers.
4I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their travels, in which they lived as aliens.
5And I hearkened to the groaning of the children of Israel (the affliction with which the Egyptians enslave them) and I remembered the covenant with you.
5Moreover I have heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage, and I have remembered my covenant.
6Go, speak to the children of Israel, saying, I [am] the Lord; and I will lead you forth from the tyranny of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from bondage, and I will ransom you with a high arm, and great judgment.
6Therefore tell the children of Israel, ‘I am Yahweh, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm, and with great judgments.
7And I will take you to me a people for myself, and will be your God; and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from the tyranny of the Egyptians.
7I will take you to myself for a people. I will be your God; and you shall know that I am Yahweh your God, who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
8And I will bring you into the land concerning which I stretched out my hand to give it to Abraam and Isaacand Jacob, and I will give it you for an inheritance: I [am] the Lord.
8I will bring you into the land which I swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it to you for a heritage: I am Yahweh.’”

12And Moses spoke before the Lord, saying, Behold, the children of Israel hearkened not to me, and how shall Pharao hearken to me? and I am not eloquent.

13And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, and gave them a charge to Pharao king of Egypt, that he should send forth the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
