3 Y ellos dijeron: El Dios de los hebreos nos ha encontrado; por tanto nosotros iremos ahora camino de tres días por el desierto, y sacrificaremos al SEÑOR nuestro Dios; para que no nos encuentre con pestilencia o con espada.
4 Entonces el rey de Egipto les dijo: Moisés y Aarón, ¿por qué hacéis cesar al pueblo de su obra? Idos a vuestros cargos.
5 Dijo también el Faraón: He aquí el pueblo de la tierra es ahora mucho, y vosotros les hacéis cesar de sus cargos.
6 Y mandó el Faraón aquel mismo día a los cuadrilleros del pueblo que tenían el cargo del pueblo, y a los gobernadores, diciendo:
7 De aquí en adelante no daréis hornija al pueblo para hacer ladrillo, como ayer y antes de ayer; vayan ellos y recojan hornija por sí mismos.
