Bricks Without Straw
Afterward Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said, “This is what the Lord,
the God of Israel, says: ‘Let my people go, so that they may hold a festival to me
in the wilderness.’” Pharaoh said, “Who is the Lord, that I should obey him and let Israel
go? I do not know the Lord and I will not let Israel go.” Then they said, “The God of the
Hebrews has met with us. Now let us take a three-day journey into the wilderness to offer
sacrifices to the Lord our God, or he may strike us with plagues or with the sword.” But the
king of Egypt said, “Moses and Aaron, why are you taking the people away from their
labour? Get back to your work!” Then Pharaoh said, “Look, the people of the land are now
numerous, and you are stopping them from working.” That same day Pharaoh gave this
order to the slave drivers and overseers in charge of the people: “You are no longer to
supply the people with straw for making bricks; let them go
and gather their own straw.
The Israelite overseers realized they were in trouble when
they were told, “You are not to reduce the number of bricks
required of you for each day.” When they left Pharaoh, they
found Moses and Aaron waiting to meet them, and they
said, “May the Lord look on you and judge you! You have
made us obnoxious to Pharaoh and his officials and have put
a sword in their hand to kill us.”
