02:004:029 And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders
of the children of Israel:
02:004:030 And Aaron spake all the words which the LORD had spoken unto
Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.
02:004:031 And the people believed: and when they heard that the LORD had
visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon
their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.
02:005:001 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.
02:005:002 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.
02:005:003 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.
02:005:004 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.
02:005:005 And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are many,
and ye make them rest from their burdens.
02:005:006 And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the
people, and their officers, saying,
02:005:007 Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as
heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.
