Chap. V.
Moyses and Aaron require of Pharao in the behalfe of God, to let his people
the Hebrewes goe and sacrifice in the desert. VVhich he contemning, 5. oppresseth
them more, denying them stravv, and yet exacting the accustomed
number of brickes. 20. The people oppre&esset;ed impute their miserie to Moyses
and Aaron. 12. But Moyses prayeth to God for them.
1 After these things Moyses and Aaron went in, and
said to Pharao: This saith the Lord God of Israel:
dismisse my people that they may sacrifice to me in the desert.
2 But he answered: Who is the Lord, that I should
heare his voice, and dismisse Israel? I know not the Lord,
and Israel I wil not dismisse.
3 And they said: The God of
the Hebrewes hath called vs, to goe three daies iourney into
the wildernesse, and to sacrifice to the Lord our God: lest
perhappes there chance to vs pestilence or sword.
4 The
king of Ægypt said to them: Why do you Moyses and Aaron
solicite the people from their workes? Goe you to your
burdens.
5 And Pharao said: The people of the land is much:
you see that the multitude is secretly increased: note how much
more if you geue them rest from their workes?
6 Therefore
he commanded in that day the ouerseers of the workes and
the exactores of the people, saying:
7 You shal no more
geue straw to the people for to make brickes, as before: but
let them selues goe and geather straw.
8 And the taske of
brickes, which they did before, you shal put vpon them,
neither shal you diminish any thing: for they are idle, and
therfore they crie, saying: Let vs goe, and sacrifice to our
God.
9 Let them be oppressed with workes, and let them
accomplish them: that they hearken not to lying wordes.
10 Therefore the ouerseers of the workes and the exactors
going forth said vnto the people: Thus saith Pharao: I allow
you no straw:
11 goe, and geather if you can find any where:
-- --
Moyses.
neither shal anie thing of your worke be diminished.
12 And
the people was dispersed through al the Land of Ægypt
to geather straw.
13 And the ouerseers of the workes were
instant, saying: Finish your worke euerie day, as before you
were wont to doe when straw was geuen vnto you.
14 And
the ouerseers of the workes of the children of Israel were
scourged of Pharaos exactors, saying: Why do you not make
vp the taske of brickes as before, neither yesterday, nor to
day?
15 And the ouerseers of the children of Israel came, and
cried out to Pharao, saying: Why dealest thou so against thy
seruantes?
16 Straw is not geuen vs, and brickes are commanded
vs in like sorte: behold we thy seruantes are beaten
with whippes, and thy people is vniustly dealt withal.
17 Who said: You are idle, and therefore you say: Let vs goe
and sacrifice to our Lord.
18 Goe therfore, and worke: straw
shal not be geuen you, and you shal geue vp the accustomed
number of brickes.
19 And the ouerseers of the children of
Israel saw them selues in hard case, because it was said vnto
them: There shal not a whitte be diminished of the brickes
for euerie day.
20 And they mette Moyses and Aaron, who
stood ouer against them, coming forth from Pharao:
21 and
they said to them: Our Lord see and iudge, because note you
haue made our sauour to stinke before Pharao and his seruantes,
and you haue geuen him a sword, for to kil vs.
22 And Moyses returned to our Lord, and said: Lord note why
hast thou afflicted this people? wherfore hast thou sent me?
23 For since the time that I entered in to Pharao to speake in
thy name, he hath afflicted thy people: and thou hast not
deliuered them.
