WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:06.360 Chapter 5 And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the 00:06.360 --> 00:11.480 Lord God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the 00:11.480 --> 00:11.840 wilderness. 00:12.180 --> 00:17.360 And Pharaoh said, Who is the Lord, that I should obey his voice to let Israel 00:17.360 --> 00:17.740 go? 00:18.140 --> 00:22.120 I know not the Lord, neither will I let Israel go. 00:22.520 --> 00:25.580 And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us. 00:25.980 --> 00:30.680 Let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the desert, and sacrifice 00:30.680 --> 00:35.760 unto the Lord our God, lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword. 00:36.000 --> 00:39.720 And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, 00:40.060 --> 00:43.300 let the people from their works get you unto your burdens? 00:43.760 --> 00:49.280 And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are many, and ye make them 00:49.280 --> 00:50.600 rest from their burdens. 00:51.140 --> 00:54.700 And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people and their 00:54.700 --> 00:59.480 officers, saying, Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick. 00:59.960 --> 01:03.820 As heretofore, let them go and gather straw for themselves. 01:04.320 --> 01:09.680 And the tail of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them. 01:10.120 --> 01:13.600 Ye shall not diminish out thereof, for they be idle. 01:14.180 --> 01:18.280 Therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God. 01:18.660 --> 01:23.440 Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labour therein, and let them 01:23.440 --> 01:24.960 not regard vain words. 01:24.960 --> 01:29.560 And the taskmasters of the people went out and their officers, and they spake to the 01:29.560 --> 01:33.280 people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you straw. 01:33.920 --> 01:38.480 Go ye, get you straw where ye can find it, yet not aught of your work shall be 01:38.480 --> 01:38.920 diminished. 01:39.260 --> 01:42.700 So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather 01:42.700 --> 01:43.980 stubble instead of straw. 01:44.520 --> 01:48.480 And the taskmasters hasted them, saying, Fulfill your works, your daily 01:48.480 --> 01:50.340 tasks, as when there was straw. 01:50.340 --> 01:53.960 And the officers of the children of Israel, which Pharaoh's taskmasters had 01:53.960 --> 01:58.340 set over them, were beaten and demanded, Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your task 01:58.340 --> 02:01.620 in making brick both yesterday and today, as heretofore? 02:01.800 --> 02:05.180 Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, 02:05.340 --> 02:08.280 saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants? 02:08.780 --> 02:12.940 There is no straw given unto thy servants, and they say to us, Make brick. 02:13.160 --> 02:17.100 And behold, thy servants are beaten, but the fault is in thine own people. 02:17.500 --> 02:21.320 But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle! 02:21.640 --> 02:25.660 Therefore ye say, Let us go and do sacrifice to the Lord. 02:25.940 --> 02:28.020 Go therefore now, and work! 02:28.360 --> 02:33.420 For there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks. 02:33.620 --> 02:38.100 And the officers of the children of Israel did see that they were in evil case after 02:38.100 --> 02:42.120 it was said, Ye shall not minish aught from your bricks of your daily task. 02:42.540 --> 02:46.320 And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way as they came forth from Pharaoh. 02:46.320 --> 02:50.980 And they said unto them, The Lord look upon you and judge, because ye have made 02:50.980 --> 02:54.920 our savor to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants 02:54.920 --> 02:57.300 to put a sword in their hand to slay us. 02:57.560 --> 03:02.940 And Moses returned unto the Lord, and said, Lord, wherefore hast thou so 03:02.940 --> 03:04.420 evil entreated this people? 03:05.100 --> 03:07.120 Why is it that thou hast sent me? 03:07.740 --> 03:11.840 For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath done evil to this 03:11.840 --> 03:12.160 people. 03:12.860 --> 03:15.040 Neither hast thou delivered thy people at all.
