 ⁴And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand and take it by the tail -- and he stretched out his hand and caught it, and it became a staff in his hand --

 ⁶And Jehovah said moreover to him, Put now thy hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom, and took it out, and behold, his hand was leprous, as snow.

 ⁷And he said, Put thy hand into thy bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again, and took it out of his bosom, and behold, it was turned again as his flesh.

Exodus 5

 ¹And afterwards Moses and Aaron went in, and said to Pharaoh, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Let my people go that they may celebrate a feast to me in the wilderness.

 ²And Pharaoh said, Who is Jehovah, to whose voice I am to hearken to let Israel go? I do not know Jehovah, neither will I let Israel go.

 ³And they said, The God of the Hebrews has met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to Jehovah our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence or with sword.

 ⁴And the king of Egypt said to them, Why do ye, Moses and Aaron, wish to have the people go off from their works? Away, to your burdens!

 ⁵And Pharaoh said, Behold the people of the land are now many, and ye wish to make them rest from their burdens.

 ⁶And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,

 ⁷Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.

 ⁸And the number of the bricks they have made heretofore shall ye lay upon them: ye shall not diminish any of it, for they are idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go [and] sacrifice to our God.

 ⁹Let them put heavier labour on the men, that they may be taken up with it, and not regard vain words.

 ¹⁰And the taskmasters of the people and their officers went out and spoke to the people, saying, Thus says Pharaoh: I will not give you straw:

 ¹¹go ye, get yourselves straw where ye may find it; but none of your work shall be diminished.

 ¹²And the people were scattered abroad throughout the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.

 ¹³And the taskmasters urged [them], saying, Fulfil your labours, the daily work, as when there was straw.

 ¹⁴And the officers of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, [and] it was said, Why have ye not fulfilled your task in making brick, both yesterday and to-day, as heretofore?

 ¹⁵Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, saying, Why dost thou deal thus with thy bondmen?

 ¹⁶There is no straw given to thy bondmen, and they say to us, Make brick; and behold, thy bondmen are beaten, but it is the fault of thy people.

 ¹⁷And he said, Ye are idle, idle! therefore ye say, Let us go and sacrifice to Jehovah.

 ¹⁸And now go -- work! and straw shall not be given you, and ye shall deliver the measure of bricks.

 ¹⁹And the officers of the children of Israel saw [that] it stood ill with them, because it was said, Ye shall not diminish anything from your bricks, the daily work.

 ²⁰And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood there to meet them, as they came out from Pharaoh.

 ²¹And they said to them, Jehovah look upon you and judge, that ye have made our odour to stink in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his bondmen, putting a sword into their hand to kill us!

 ²²And Moses returned to Jehovah, and said, Lord, why hast thou done evil to this people? why now hast thou sent me?

 ²³For ever since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath done evil to this people; neither hast thou delivered thy people at all!

Exodus 6

 ¹And Jehovah said to Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh; for by a strong hand shall he let them go, and by a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.

 ²And God spoke to Moses, and said to him, I am Jehovah.

 ³And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, as the Almighty ùGod; but by my name Jehovah I was not made known to them.

 ⁴And I established also my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, in which they were sojourners.

 ⁵And I have heard also the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians have forced to serve, and I have remembered my covenant.

 ⁶Therefore say unto the children of Israel, I am Jehovah, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from their service, and I will redeem you with a stretched-out arm, and with great judgments.

 ⁷And I will take you to me for a people, and will be your God; and ye shall know that I, Jehovah your God, am he who bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

 ⁸And I will bring you into the land concerning which I swore to give it unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; and I will give it you for a possession: I am Jehovah.

 ¹¹Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.
