1After this, Moses and Aaron came to Pharaoh and told him, “These are the words of the LORD the God of Israel: Let my people go so that they may keep a pilgrim-feast in my honour in the wilderness.”

2“Who is the LORD,” said Pharaoh, “that I should listen to him and let Israel go? I do not acknowledge the LORD: and I tell you I will not let Israel go.”

3They replied, “The God of the Hebrews confronted us. Now we request leave to go three days' journey into the wilderness to offer sacrifice to the LORD our God, or else he may attack us with pestilence or sword.”

4But the Egyptian king answered, “What do you mean, Moses and Aaron, by distracting the people from their work? Back to your labours!

5Your people already outnumber the native Egyptians; yet you would have them stop working!”

6Pharaoh issued orders that same day to the people's slave-masters and their foremen

7not to supply the people with the straw used in making bricks, as they had done hitherto. “Let them go and collect their own straw,

8but see that they produce the same tally of bricks as before; on no account reduce it. They are lazy, and that is why they are clamouring to go and offer sacrifice to their God.

9Keep these men hard at work; let them attend to that. Take no notice of their lies.”

10The slave-masters and foremen went out and said to the people, “Pharaoh's orders are that no more straw is to be supplied.

11Go and get it for yourselves wherever you can find it; but there is to be no reduction in your daily task.”

12So the people scattered all over Egypt to gather stubble for the straw they needed,

13while the slave-masters kept urging them on, demanding that they should complete, day after day, the same quantity as when straw had been supplied.

14The Israelite foremen were flogged because they were held responsible by Pharaoh's slave-masters, who demanded, “Why did you not complete the usual number of bricks yesterday or today?”

15The foremen came and appealed to Pharaoh: “Why does your majesty treat us like this?” they said.

16“We are given no straw, yet they keep telling us to make bricks. Here are we being flogged, but the fault lies with your people.”

17The king replied, “You are lazy, bone lazy! That is why you keep on about going to offer sacrifice to the LORD.

18Now get on with your work. You will not be given straw, but you must produce the full tally of bricks.”

19When they were told that they must not let the daily number of bricks fall short, the Israelite foremen realized the trouble they were in.

20As they came from Pharaoh's presence they found Moses and Aaron waiting to meet them,

21and said, “May this bring the LORD's judgement down on you! You have made us stink in the nostrils of Pharaoh and his subjects; you have put a sword in their hands to slay us.”

22Moses went back to the LORD and said, “Lord, why have you brought trouble on this people? And why did you ever send me?

23Since I first went to Pharaoh to speak in your name he has treated your people cruelly, and you have done nothing at all to rescue them.”
