Then she said, "You are a bridegroom of blood," because of the circumcision. 004:027 Yahweh said to Aaron, "Go into the wilderness to meet Moses." He went, and met him on God's mountain, and kissed him. 004:028 Moses told Aaron all the words of Yahweh with which he had sent him, and all the signs with which he had charged him. 004:029 Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel. 004:030 Aaron spoke all the words which Yahweh had spoken to Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people. 004:031 The people believed, and when they heard that Yahweh had visited the children of Israel, and that he had seen their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshiped. 005:001 Afterward Moses and Aaron came, and said to Pharaoh, "This is what Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, 'Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to me in the wilderness.'" 005:002 Pharaoh said, "Who is Yahweh, that I should listen to his voice to let Israel go? I don't know Yahweh, and moreover I will not let Israel go." 005:003 They said, "The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Please let us go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to Yahweh, our God, lest he fall on us with pestilence, or with the sword." 005:004 The king of Egypt said to them, "Why do you, Moses and Aaron, take the people from their work? Get back to your burdens!" 005:005 Pharaoh said, "Behold, the people of the land are now many, and you make them rest from their burdens." 005:006 The same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying, 005:007 "You shall no longer give the people straw to make brick, as before. Let them go and gather straw for themselves. 005:008 The number of the bricks, which they made before, you require from them. You shall not diminish anything of it, for they are idle; therefore they cry, saying, 'Let us go and sacrifice to our God.' 005:009 Let heavier work be laid on the men, that they may labor therein; and don't let them pay any attention to lying words." 005:010 The taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spoke to the people, saying, This is what Pharaoh says: "I will not give you straw. 005:011 Go yourselves, get straw where you can find it, for nothing of your work shall be diminished." 005:012 So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw. 005:013 The taskmasters were urgent saying, "Fulfill your work quota daily, as when there was straw!" 005:014 The officers of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, "Why haven't you fulfilled your quota both yesterday and today, in making brick as before?"
