I do not know the Lord, and I will not let Israel go." 3 Then they said, "The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Please, let us take a three-day journey into the wilderness to offer sacrifices to the Lord our God, or he may strike us with plague or with the sword." 4 But the king of Egypt said, "Moses and Aaron, why are you distracting the people from their labor? Get back to your work." 5 And Pharaoh said, "Look, the people of the land are now numerous, and you are stopping them from working!" 6 That same day Pharaoh gave this order to the slave drivers and overseers in charge of the people: 7 "You are no longer to supply the people with straw for making bricks; let them go and gather their own straw. 8 But require them to make the same number of bricks as before; don't reduce the quota. They are lazy; that is why they are crying out, 'Let us go and offer sacrifices to our God.' 9 Make the work harder for the people so that they keep working and pay no attention to lies." 10 So the slave drivers and overseers went out and said to the people, "This is what Pharaoh says: 'I will not give you any straw.' 11 "Go and get your own straw wherever you can find it, but your work will not be reduced at all." 12 So the people scattered all over Egypt to gather stubble to use for straw. 13 The slave drivers kept pressing them, saying, "Complete the work required of you each day, just as when you had straw." 14 And Pharaoh's slave drivers beat the Israelite overseers they had appointed, demanding, "Why haven’t you met your quota of bricks yesterday or today, as before?" 15 Then the Israelite overseers went and appealed to Pharaoh: "Why are you treating your servants this way?" 16 "No straw is given to your servants, yet we are told, 'Make bricks!' Your servants are being beaten, but the fault is with your own people." 17 Pharaoh said, "Lazy! That’s what you are—lazy!

Why did you send me?" 23 Ever since I went to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has brought trouble upon this people, and you have not rescued your people at all."
