Exodus 5:3-13

Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB

New International Version NIV

3 And they said, The God of the Hebrews has found us; therefore we shall go three days’ journey into the desert and sacrifice unto the LORD our God lest he encounter us with pestilence or with the sword.

3 Then they said, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Now let us take a three-day journey into the wilderness to offer sacrifices to the LORD our God, or he may strike us with plagues or with the sword.”

4 Then the king of Egypt said unto them, Why do ye, Moses and Aaron, keep the people from their works? Go unto your burdens.

4 But the king of Egypt said, “Moses and Aaron, why are you taking the people away from their labor? Get back to your work!”

5 Pharaoh also said, Behold, the people of the land now are many, and ye make them cease from their burdens.

5 Then Pharaoh said, “Look, the people of the land are now numerous, and you are stopping them from working.”

6 And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people and their officers, saying,

6 That same day Pharaoh gave this order to the slave drivers and overseers in charge of the people:

7 Ye shall no longer give the people firewood to make brick as until now; let them go and gather firewood for themselves.

7 “You are no longer to supply the people with straw for making bricks; let them go and gather their own straw.

8 And the tally of the bricks which they made before, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish any of it; for they are idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.

8 But require them to make the same number of bricks as before; don’t reduce the quota. They are lazy; that is why they are crying out, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to our God.’

9 Let more work be laid upon them that they may occupy themselves with it; and let them not regard words of deception.

9 Make the work harder for the people so that they keep working and pay no attention to lies.”

10 And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spoke to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you firewood.

10 Then the slave drivers and the overseers went out and said to the people, “This is what Pharaoh says: ‘I will not give you any more straw.

11 Go ye, gather firewood where ye can find it; yet none of your work shall be diminished.

11 Go and get your own straw wherever you can find it, but your work will not be reduced at all.’ ”

12 So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather brush for firewood.

12 So the people scattered all over Egypt to gather stubble to use for straw.

13 And the taskmasters hasted them, saying, Fulfil your works, your daily quotas, as when there was firewood.

13 The slave drivers kept pressing them, saying, “Complete the work required of you for each day, just as when you had straw.”
