web@Exodus:4:18 @ Moses went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law, and said to him, "Please let me go and return to my brothers who are in Egypt, and see whether they are still alive." Jethro said to Moses, "Go in peace."

web@Exodus:4:19 @ Yahweh said to Moses in Midian, "Go, return into Egypt; for all the men who sought your life are dead."

web@Exodus:4:20 @ Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them on a donkey, and he returned to the land of Egypt. Moses took God's rod in his hand.

web@Exodus:4:21 @ Yahweh said to Moses, "When you go back into Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have put in your hand, but I will harden his heart and he will not let the people go.

web@Exodus:4:22 @ You shall tell Pharaoh, 'Thus says Yahweh, Israel is my son, my firstborn,

web@Exodus:4:23 @ and I have said to you, "Let my son go, that he may serve me"; and you have refused to let him go. Behold, I will kill your son, your firstborn.'"

web@Exodus:4:24 @ It happened on the way at a lodging place, that Yahweh met Moses and wanted to kill him.

web@Exodus:4:25 @ Then Zipporah took a flint, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet; and she said, "Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me."

web@Exodus:4:26 @ So he let him alone. Then she said, "You are a bridegroom of blood," because of the circumcision.

web@Exodus:4:27 @ Yahweh said to Aaron, "Go into the wilderness to meet Moses." He went, and met him on God's mountain, and kissed him.

web@Exodus:4:28 @ Moses told Aaron all the words of Yahweh with which he had sent him, and all the signs with which he had instructed him.

web@Exodus:4:29 @ Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel.

web@Exodus:4:30 @ Aaron spoke all the words which Yahweh had spoken to Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.

web@Exodus:4:31 @ The people believed, and when they heard that Yahweh had visited the children of Israel, and that he had seen their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshiped.

web@Exodus:5:1 @ Afterward 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.'"

web@Exodus:5:2 @ Pharaoh 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."

web@Exodus:5:3 @ They 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."

web@Exodus:5:4 @ The king of Egypt said to them, "Why do you, Moses and Aaron, take the people from their work? Get back to your burdens!"

web@Exodus:5:5 @ Pharaoh said, "Behold, the people of the land are now many, and you make them rest from their burdens."

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

web@Exodus:5:7 @ "You shall no longer give the people straw to make brick, as before. Let them go and gather straw for themselves.

web@Exodus:5:8 @ 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.'

web@Exodus:5:9 @ Let heavier work be laid on the men, that they may labor therein; and don't let them pay any attention to lying words."

web@Exodus:5:10 @ 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.

web@Exodus:5:11 @ Go yourselves, get straw where you can find it, for nothing of your work shall be diminished.'"

web@Exodus:5:12 @ So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.

web@Exodus:5:13 @ The taskmasters were urgent saying, "Fulfill your work quota daily, as when there was straw!"

web@Exodus:5:14 @ 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?"

web@Exodus:5:15 @ Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, saying, "Why do you deal this way with your servants?

web@Exodus:5:16 @ No 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."

web@Exodus:5:17 @ But he said, "You are idle! You are idle! Therefore you say, 'Let us go and sacrifice to Yahweh.'

web@Exodus:5:18 @ Go therefore now, and work, for no straw shall be given to you, yet you shall deliver the same number of bricks!"

web@Exodus:5:19 @ The 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!"

web@Exodus:5:20 @ They met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came out from Pharaoh:

web@Exodus:5:21 @ and they 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."

web@Exodus:5:22 @ Moses returned to Yahweh, and said, "Lord, why have you brought trouble on this people? Why is it that you have sent me?

web@Exodus:5:23 @ For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has brought trouble on this people; neither have you delivered your people at all."

web@Exodus:6:1 @ Yahweh 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."

web@Exodus:6:2 @ God spoke to Moses, and said to him, "I am Yahweh;

web@Exodus:6:3 @ and I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty; but by my name Yahweh I was not known to them.

web@Exodus:6:4 @ I 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.

web@Exodus:6:5 @ Moreover I have heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage, and I have remembered my covenant.

web@Exodus:6:6 @ Therefore 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:

web@Exodus:6:7 @ and I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God; and you shall know that I am Yahweh your God, who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

web@Exodus:6:8 @ I 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.'"

web@Exodus:6:9 @ Moses spoke so to the children of Israel, but they didn't listen to Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.

web@Exodus:6:10 @ Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

web@Exodus:6:11 @ "Go in, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land."

web@Exodus:6:12 @ Moses spoke before Yahweh, saying, "Behold, the children of Israel haven't listened to me. How then shall Pharaoh listen to me, who am of uncircumcised lips?"
