the people of the children of Israel are more
and mighter than We
s. Come on, let US deal wisely with them I;
lest they multiply, & it come to pass, that
vhen there falleth out any war they join
also unto our enemies, and fight against us,
and so get them up out ofthe land
t. Therefore they did set over them task
masters to afflict them with their burdens.
z. But the more they afflicted them the
more they multiplied and grew. And they
were grieved because of the children of Is
rael.

of Israel to serve with rigor.

went in and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the
LORD Con of Israel, Let my people go
that they may hold feast unto me in the
wilderness
10. And Pharaoh said Who is the LORD
that should obey his voice to let Israel go ?

Israel go.
II. And they said, Let US go we pray
thee, three days journey into the desert
and sacrifice unto the LORD OUR Con ;
lest he fall upon us with pestilence or with
the sword

them, Wherefore, do ye, Noses and Aaron
let the people from their works? get you
unto your burdens.

pie ofthe land now are many, and we make
them rest from their burdens.

OF; for they be idle, therefore, they cry,
saying, Let US 60 and sacrifice to our COP
II. Let there more work be laid upon
'he men that they may labor therein, and
let them not regard vain words
Is. And the taskmasters Of the people
went out, end spake to the people, saying,

= be diminished.
10 Then the officers OF the children of
Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh say
ing, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy
servants
90. There is no straw given unto thy SER
wants, and they say unto us, Make brick :
81. But he said, We are idle, ye are idle
therefore we say, Let us so and do sacr-
fee to the LORD.
% Go therefore now and work, for there
shall 10 straw be given you, yet shall We
deliver the tale of bricks.
23. And the officers Of the children of
Israel did see that they were in evil case,
