Exodus 5:15-17

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁵ ¶ Then the officers of the sons of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Why doest thou deal thus with thy slaves?

¹⁶ There is no firewood given unto thy slaves, yet they say to us, Make brick. Behold, thy slaves are beaten; and thy people sin.

¹⁷ And he replied, Ye are idle, ye are idle, therefore ye say, Let us go and sacrifice unto the LORD.
