to
His voice ,

Jehovah
, and
Israel
also
I do
not
send
away
. '

LORD

will
I let
Israel
go
.
And they say
, `
The God of the Hebrews hath met with us ,
let us go, we pray thee, a

sacrifice to
Jehovah
our God ,
lest He meet
us with pestilence or with sword. '

us with pestilence ,

the
making
of

bricks
, as heretofore --

go and have
gathered
straw for themselves ;

no
more
give the people straw
to
make
brick
, as heretofore :

them
go and gather
straw for themselves .
and the proper
quantity
of the bricks which they are
making
heretofore ye do
put
on
them ,
ye do
not diminish from
it,
for they are
remiss,
therefore they are
crying
, saying, Let us go ,
let
us
sacrifice to our God ;
And the tale
of the bricks ,
which they did
make
heretofore ,
ye shall
lay
upon
them ;
ye shall
not diminish ought
thereof:
for they be
idle;
therefore they cry
, saying, Let us go and
sacrifice to our God .

service
be heavy
on
the men, and let them work
at
it,
and
not be
dazzled
by
lying
words. '

more
work
be laid
upon

may
labor
therein;

for
yourselves
straw where ye find `
it ',

thy
people hath

do
sacrifice to the
LORD.

ye
deliver
the tale
of bricks.

to
meet
them
, in their
coming
out
from Pharaoh ,

Moses and Aaron, who
stood
in the

as
they
came
forth
from Pharaoh :

look upon you, and judge ,

our fragrance
to stink
in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants --
to give
a sword into
their hand to slay us. '

their hand to slay us.

hast thou so
evil entreated
this people? why is it

unto
Pharaoh ,
to speak in Thy name, he hath done evil to this people ,
and
Thou
hast not
at
all
delivered Thy people. '
For
since I came
to

hast thou
delivered thy people at
all
