28 And Moses told Aaron all the words of the Lord who had sent him, and all the signs which he had commanded.

29 And Moses went with Aaron, and they gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel,

30 And Aaron told them all the words which the LORD had spoken to Moses; And Moses made signs in the sight of the people;

31 And the people believed; And they heard that the Lord had visited the children of Israel, and had seen their affliction, and they bowed down and worshipped.

Chapter 5

1 And Moses and Aaron came to Pharaoh, and said, Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may keep me a feast in the wilderness.

2 But Pharaoh said, "Who is the Lord, that I should obey his voice, and let Israel go?" I do not know the Lord, and I will not let Israel go.

3 They said to him, "The God of the Hebrews has called us; let us go into the wilderness for three days' journey to offer sacrifice to the Lord our God, lest he smite us with a plague or with a sword.

4 And the king of Egypt said unto them, Why do you, Moses and Aaron, distract my people from their works? Go [each of you] to your work.

5 And Pharaoh said, "Behold, the people in this land are many, and you divert them from their work."

6 And on the same day Pharaoh commanded the officers of the people and the overseers, saying,

7 Give no more straw to the people to make bricks, as yesterday and the third day, let them go and gather up stubble for themselves,

8 And the bricks shall put upon them the same number of bricks as they did yesterday and the third day, and shall not diminish them. they are idle, therefore they cry out: "Come, let us offer sacrifice to our God;

9 To give them more work to do, that they may work, and not be occupied with vain speech.
