Exodus 5:1-3
Easy-to-Read Version
Moses and Aaron Before Pharaoh
5 After Moses and Aaron talked to the people, they went to Pharaoh and said, “The Lord,[a] the God of Israel, says, ‘Let my people go into the desert so that they can have a festival to honor me.’”
2 But Pharaoh said, “Who is the Lord? Why should I obey him? Why should I let Israel go? I don’t even know who this Lord is, so I refuse to let Israel go.”
3 Then Aaron and Moses said, “The God of the Hebrews[b] has talked with us. So we beg you to let us travel three days into the desert. There we will offer a sacrifice to the Lord our God. If we don’t do this, he might become angry and destroy us. He might make us die from sickness or war.”
