02:004:020 And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in his hand. 02:004:021 And the LORD said unto Moses, When thou goest to return into Egypt, see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in thine hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go. 02:004:022 And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn: 02:004:023 And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn. 02:004:024 And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him. 02:004:025 Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to me. 02:004:026 So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou art, because of the circumcision. 02:004:027 And the LORD said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him in the mount of God, and kissed him. 02:004:028 And Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD who had sent him, and all the signs which he had commanded him. 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. 02:005:008 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.
