Exodus 5:3-5

The Voice

Moses and Aaron: ³ The God of the Hebrews has visited us. We ask that you allow us to travel three days’ distance into the desert to sacrifice to the Eternal our God. Otherwise, He may become angry and come after us with disease or sword.

Pharaoh: ⁴ Moses and Aaron, why are you distracting people from their work? Stop wasting time, and get back to your labor!

⁵ Look, there are vast numbers of people in this land who should be working; instead they are all idle because of you.
