jub - Exodus:5

jub@Exodus:5:1 @ And afterward Moses and Aaron went in and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go that they may celebrate a feast unto me in the wilderness.

jub@Exodus:5:2 @ And Pharaoh said, Who [is] the LORD, that I should hearken to his voice to let Israel go? I do not know the LORD, neither will I let Israel go.

jub@Exodus:5:3 @ And they said, The God of the Hebrews has found us; therefore we shall go three days' journey into the desert and sacrifice unto the LORD our God lest he encounter us with pestilence or with the sword.

jub@Exodus:5:4 @ Then the king of Egypt said unto them, Why do ye, Moses and Aaron, keep the people from their works? Go unto your burdens.

jub@Exodus:5:5 @ Pharaoh also said, Behold, the people of the land now [are] many, and ye make them cease from their burdens.

jub@Exodus:5:6 @ And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people and their officers, saying,

jub@Exodus:5:7 @ Ye shall no longer give the people firewood to make brick as until now; let them go and gather firewood for themselves.

jub@Exodus:5:8 @ And the tally of the bricks which they made before, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish any of it; for they [are] idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go [and] sacrifice to our God.

jub@Exodus:5:9 @ Let more work be laid upon them that they may occupy themselves with it; and let them not regard words of deception.

jub@Exodus:5:10 @ And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spoke to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you firewood.

jub@Exodus:5:11 @ Go ye, gather firewood where ye can find it; yet none of your work shall be diminished.

jub@Exodus:5:12 @ So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather brush for firewood.

jub@Exodus:5:13 @ And the taskmasters hasted [them], saying, Fulfil your works, [your] daily quotas, as when there was firewood.

jub@Exodus:5:14 @ And the officers of the sons of Israel, whom Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, [and they] demanded, Why have ye not fulfilled your quotas in making brick both yesterday and today, as until now?

jub@Exodus:5:15 @ Then the officers of the sons of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Why doest thou deal thus with thy servants?

jub@Exodus:5:16 @ There is no firewood given unto thy servants, yet they say to us, Make brick. Behold, thy servants [are] beaten; and thy people sin.

jub@Exodus:5:17 @ And he replied, Ye [are] idle, [ye] are idle, therefore ye say, Let us go [and] sacrifice unto the LORD.

jub@Exodus:5:18 @ Go therefore now [and] work, for no firewood shall be given you, yet ye shall deliver the tally of bricks.

jub@Exodus:5:19 @ Then the officers of the sons of Israel saw [that] they [were] afflicted after it was said, Ye shall not diminish any from the bricks of your daily quota.

jub@Exodus:5:20 @ And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh;

jub@Exodus:5:21 @ and they said unto them, The LORD look upon you and judge because ye have made our savour to be a stench before Pharaoh and his servants, putting a sword in their hands to slay us.

jub@Exodus:5:22 @ Then Moses returned unto the LORD and said, Lord, why hast thou [so] afflicted this people? Why [is] it [that] thou hast sent me?

jub@Exodus:5:23 @ For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he has afflicted this people; neither hast thou delivered thy people at all.:
