- 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.'"
- 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."
- 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."
- The king of Egypt said to them, "Why do you, Moses and Aaron, take the people from their work? Get back to your burdens!"
- Pharaoh said, "Behold, the people of the land are now many, and you make them rest from their burdens."
- The same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,
- "You shall no longer give the people straw to make brick, as before. Let them go and gather straw for themselves.
- 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.'
- Let heavier work be laid on the men, that they may labor therein; and don't let them pay any attention to lying words."
- 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.
- Go yourselves, get straw where you can find it, for nothing of your work shall be diminished.'"
- So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.
- The taskmasters were urgent saying, "Fulfill your work quota daily, as when there was straw!"
- 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?"
- Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, saying, "Why do you deal this way with your servants?
- 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."
- But he said, "You are idle! You are idle! Therefore you say, 'Let us go and sacrifice to Yahweh.'
- Go therefore now, and work, for no straw shall be given to you, yet you shall deliver the same number of bricks!"
- 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!"
- They met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh:
- 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."
- Moses returned to Yahweh, and said, "Lord, why have you brought trouble on this people? Why is it that you have sent me?
- 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."

- ואחר באו משה ואהרן ויאמרו אל־פרעה כה־אמר יהוה אלהי ישראל שלח את־עמי ויחגו לי במדבר׃
- ויאמר פרעה מי יהוה אשר אשמע בקלו לשלח את־ישראל לא ידעתי את־יהוה וגם את־ישראל לא אשלח׃
- ויאמרו אלהי העברים נקרא עלינו נלכה נא דרך שלשת ימים במדבר ונזבחה ליהוה אלהינו פן־יפגענו בדבר או בחרב׃
- ויאמר אלהם מלך מצרים למה משה ואהרן תפריעו את־העם ממעשיו לכו לסבלתיכם׃
- ויאמר פרעה הן־רבים עתה עם הארץ והשבתם אתם מסבלתם׃
- ויצו פרעה ביום ההוא את־הנגשים בעם ואת־שטריו לאמר׃
- לא תאספון לתת תבן לעם ללבן הלבנים כתמול שלשם הם ילכו וקששו להם תבן׃
- ואת־מתכנת הלבנים אשר הם עשים תמול שלשם תשימו עליהם לא תגרעו ממנו כי־נרפים הם על־כן הם צעקים לאמר נלכה נזבחה לאלהינו׃
- תכבד העבדה על־האנשים ויעשו־בה ואל־ישעו בדברי־שקר׃
- ויצאו נגשי העם ושטריו ויאמרו אל־העם לאמר כה אמר פרעה אינני נתן לכם תבן׃
- אתם לכו קחו לכם תבן מאשר תמצאו כי אין נגרע מעבדתכם דבר׃
- ויפץ העם בכל־ארץ מצרים לקשש קש לתבן׃
- והנגשים אצים לאמר כלו מעשיכם דבר־יום ביומו כאשר בהיות התבן׃
- ויכו שטרי בני ישראל אשר־שמו עלהם נגשי פרעה לאמר מדוע לא כליתם חקכם ללבן כתמול שלשם גם־תמול גם־היום׃
- ויבאו שטרי בני ישראל ויצעקו אל־פרעה לאמר למה תעשה כה לעבדיך׃
- תבן אין נתן לעבדיך ולבנים אמרים לנו עשו והנה עבדיך מכים וחטאת עמך׃
- ויאמר נרפים אתם נרפים על־כן אתם אמרים נלכה נזבחה ליהוה׃
- ועתה לכו עבדו ותבן לא־ינתן לכם ותכן לבנים תתנו׃
- ויראו שטרי בני־ישראל אתם ברע לאמר לא־תגרעו מלבניכם דבר־יום ביומו׃
- ויפגעו את־משה ואת־אהרן נצבים לקראתם בצאתם מאת פרעה׃
- ויאמרו אלהם ירא יהוה עליכם וישפט אשר הבאשתם את־ריחנו בעיני פרעה ובעיני עבדיו לתת־חרב בידם להרגנו׃
- וישב משה אל־יהוה ויאמר אדני למה הרעתה לעם הזה למה זה שלחתני׃
- ומאז באתי אל־פרעה לדבר בשמך הרע לעם הזה והצל לא־הצלת את־עמך׃

| Exodus 5 Text (Latin)

- Post hæc ingressi sunt Moyses et Aaron, et dixerunt Pharaoni : Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israël : Dimitte populum meum ut sacrificet mihi in deserto.
- At ille respondit : Quis est Dominus, ut audiam vocem ejus, et dimittam Israël ? nescio Dominum, et Israël non dimittam.
- Dixeruntque : Deus Hebræorum vocavit nos, ut eamus viam trium dierum in solitudinem, et sacrificemus Domino Deo nostro : ne forte accidat nobis pestis aut gladius.
- Ait ad eos rex Ægypti : Quare Moyses et Aaron sollicitatis populum ab operibus suis ? ite ad onera vestra.
- Dixitque Pharao : Multus est populus terræ : videtis quod turba succreverit : quanto magis si dederitis eis requiem ab operibus ?
- Præcepit ergo in die illo præfectis operum et exactoribus populi, dicens :
- Nequaquam ultra dabitis paleas populo ad conficiendos lateres, sicut prius : sed ipsi vadant, et colligant stipulas.
- Et mensuram laterum, quam prius faciebant, imponetis super eos, nec minuetis quidquam : vacant enim, et idcirco vociferantur, dicentes : Eamus, et sacrificemus Deo nostro.
- Opprimantur operibus, et expleant ea : ut non acquiescant verbis mendacibus.
- Igitur egressi præfecti operum et exactores ad populum, dixerunt : Sic dicit Pharao : Non do vobis paleas :
- ite, et colligite sicubi invenire poteritis, nec minuetur quidquam de opere vestro.
- Dispersusque est populus per omnem terram Ægypti ad colligendas paleas.
- Præfecti quoque operum instabant, dicentes : Complete opus vestrum quotidie, ut prius facere solebatis quando dabantur vobis paleæ.
- Flagellatique sunt qui præerant operibus filiorum Israël, ab exactoribus Pharaonis, dicentibus : Quare non impletis mensuram laterum sicut prius, nec heri, nec hodie ?
- Veneruntque præpositi filiorum Israël, et vociferati sunt ad Pharaonem dicentes : Cur ita agis contra servos tuos ?
- paleæ non dantur nobis, et lateres similiter imperantur : en famuli tui flagellis cædimur, et injuste agitur contra populum tuum.
- Qui ait : Vacatis otio, et idcirco dicitis : Eamus, et sacrificemus Domino.
- Ite ergo, et operamini : paleæ non dabuntur vobis, et reddetis consuetum numerum laterum.
- Videbantque se præpositi filiorum Israël in malo, eo quod diceretur eis : Non minuetur quidquam de lateribus per singulos dies.
- Occurreruntque Moysi et Aaron, qui stabant ex adverso, egredientibus a Pharaone :
- et dixerunt ad eos : Videat Dominus et judicet, quoniam fœtere fecistis odorem nostrum coram Pharaone et servis ejus, et præbuistis ei gladium, ut occideret nos.
- Reversusque est Moyses ad Dominum, et ait : Domine, cur afflixisti populum istum ? quare misisti me ?
- ex eo enim quo ingressus sum ad Pharaonem ut loquerer in nomine tuo, afflixit populum tuum : et non liberasti eos.

- And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.
- And Pharaoh said, Who is the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go.
- And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the LORD our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.
- And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, let the people from their works? get you unto your burdens.
- And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are many, and ye make them rest from their burdens.
- And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,
- Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.
- 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.
- Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labour therein; and let them not regard vain words.
- And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spake to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you straw.
- Go ye, get you straw where ye can find it: yet not ought of your work shall be diminished.
- So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw.
- And the taskmasters hasted them, saying, Fulfil your works, your daily tasks, as when there was straw.
- And the officers of the children of Israel, which Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your task in making brick both yesterday and to day, as heretofore?
- Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants?
- There is no straw given unto thy servants, and they say to us, Make brick: and, behold, thy servants are beaten; but the fault is in thine own people.
- But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle: therefore ye say, Let us go and do sacrifice to the LORD.
- Go therefore now, and work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks.
- And the officers of the children of Israel did see that they were in evil case, after it was said, Ye shall not minish ought from your bricks of your daily task.
- And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh:
- And they said unto them, The LORD look upon you, and judge; because ye have made our savour to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us.
- And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Lord, wherefore hast thou so evil entreated this people? why is it that thou hast sent me?
- For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath done evil to this people; neither hast thou delivered thy people at all.
