005:015 Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, saying, "Why do you deal this way with your servants? 005:016 No straw is given to your servants, and they tell us, 'Make brick!' and behold, your servants are beaten; but the fault is in your own people." 005:017 But he said, "You are idle! You are idle! Therefore you say, 'Let us go and sacrifice to Yahweh.' 005:018 Go therefore now, and work, for no straw shall be given to you, yet shall you deliver the same number of bricks!" 005:019 The officers of the children of Israel saw that they were in trouble, when it was said, "You shall not diminish anything from your daily quota of bricks!" 005:020 They met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh: 005:021 and they said to them, "May Yahweh look at you, and judge, because you have made us a stench to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to kill us." 005:022 Moses returned to Yahweh, and said, "Lord, why have you brought trouble on this people? Why is it that you have sent me? 005:023 For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has brought trouble on this people; neither have you delivered your people at all." 006:001 Yahweh said to Moses, "Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh, for by a strong hand he shall let them go, and by a strong hand he shall drive them out of his land." 006:002 God spoke to Moses, and said to him, "I am Yahweh; 006:003 and I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty; but by my name Yahweh I was not known to them. 006:004 I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their travels, in which they lived as aliens. 006:005 Moreover I have heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage, and I have remembered my covenant. 006:006 Therefore tell the children of Israel, 'I am Yahweh, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm, and with great judgments: 006:007 and I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God; and you shall know that I am Yahweh your God, who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. 006:008 I will bring you into the land which I swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it to you for a heritage: I am Yahweh.'" 006:009 Moses spoke so to the children of Israel, but they didn't listen to Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage. 006:010 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 006:011 "Go in, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land."
