Exodus 5:2-4

New American Standard Bible 1995

² But Pharaoh said, “^(A)Who is the Lord that I should obey His voice to let Israel go? I do not know the Lord, and besides, ^(B)I will not let Israel go.” ³ Then they said, “^(C)The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Please, let us go a three days’ journey into the wilderness that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God, otherwise He will fall upon us with pestilence or with the sword.” ⁴ But the king of Egypt said to them, “Moses and Aaron, why do you ^[a]draw the people away from their ^[b]work? Get back to your ^[c](D)labors!”
