Exodus 5:2-4

The Voice

Pharaoh: ² And who is this god you call “the Eternal One” that I should heed His message and release His people Israel? I do not know any god by that name, and furthermore I do not intend to release Israel.

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!
