Exodus 4 - 6

Moses Given Powerful Signs

1 Then Moses answered, "But behold, they will not believe me or listen to my voice, for they will say, 'The Lord did not appear to you.'" 2 The Lord said to him, "What is that in your hand?" He said, i "A staff." 3 And he said, "Throw it on the ground." So he threw it on the ground, and it became a serpent, and Moses ran from it. 4 But the Lord said to Moses, "Put out your hand and catch it by the tail" - so he put out his hand and caught it, and it became a staff in his hand - 5 "that they may j believe that the Lord, k the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you." 6 Again, the Lord said to him, "Put your hand inside your cloak." 1 And he put his hand inside his cloak, and when he took it out, behold, his hand was l leprous 2 like snow. 7 Then God said, "Put your hand back inside your cloak." So he put his hand back inside his cloak, and when he took it out, behold, m it was restored like the rest of his flesh. 8 "If they will not believe you," God said, "or listen to the first sign, they may believe the latter sign. 9 If they will not believe even these two signs or listen to your voice, you shall take some water from the Nile and pour it on the dry ground, and the water that you shall take from the Nile n will become blood on the dry ground."

10 But Moses said to the Lord, "Oh, my Lord, I am not eloquent, either in the past or since you have spoken to your servant, but o I am slow of speech and of tongue." 11 Then the Lord said to him, "Who has made man's mouth? Who makes him mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is it not I, the Lord? 12 Now therefore go, and p I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall speak." 13 But he said, "Oh, my Lord, please send someone else." 14 Then the anger of the Lord was kindled against Moses and he said, "Is there not Aaron, your brother, the Levite? I know that he can speak well. Behold, q he is coming out to meet you, and when he sees you, he will be glad in his heart. 15 r You shall speak to him and s put the words in his mouth, and p I will be with your mouth and with his mouth and will teach you both what to do. 16 t He shall speak for you to the people, and he shall be your mouth, and u you shall be as God to him. 17 And take in your hand v this staff, with which you shall do the signs."

Moses Returns to Egypt

18 Moses went back to w Jethro his father-in-law and said to him, "Please let me go back to my brothers in Egypt to see whether they are still alive." And Jethro said to Moses, "Go in peace." 19 And the Lord said to Moses in Midian, "Go back to Egypt, for x all the men who were seeking your life are dead." 20 So Moses took y his wife and his sons and had them ride on a donkey, and went back to the land of Egypt. And Moses took z the staff of God in his hand.

21 And the Lord said to Moses, "When you go back to Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the a miracles that I have put in your power. But b I will harden his heart, so that he will not let the people go. 22 Then you shall say to Pharaoh, 'Thus says the Lord, c Israel is my d firstborn son, 23 and I say to you, "Let my son go that he may serve me." If you refuse to let him go, behold, I e will kill your firstborn son.'"

24 At a lodging place on the way f the Lord met him and g sought to put him to death. 25 Then h Zipporah took a i flint and cut off her son's foreskin and touched Moses' 3 feet with it and said, "Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me!" 26 So he let him alone. It was then that she said, "A bridegroom of blood," because of the circumcision.

27 The Lord said to Aaron, "Go into the wilderness j to meet Moses." So he went and met him at the k mountain of God and kissed him. 28 And Moses l told Aaron all the words of the Lord with which he had sent him to speak, and all m the signs that he had commanded him to do. 29 Then Moses and Aaron n went and gathered together all the elders of the people of Israel. 30 o Aaron spoke all the words that the Lord had spoken to Moses and did the signs in the sight of the people. 31 And the people p believed; and when they heard that the Lord had q visited the people of Israel and that he had r seen their affliction, s they bowed their heads and worshiped.

Exodus 5

Making Bricks Without Straw

1 Afterward Moses and Aaron went and said to Pharaoh, "Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, 'Let my people go, that they may hold t a feast to me in the wilderness.'" 2 But Pharaoh said, u "Who is the Lord, that I should obey his voice and let Israel go? I do not know the Lord, and moreover, v I will not let Israel go." 3 Then they said, "The w 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, lest he fall upon us with pestilence or with the sword." 4 But the king of Egypt said to them, "Moses and Aaron, why do you take the people away from their work? Get back to your x burdens." 5 And Pharaoh said, "Behold, y the people of the land are now many, 4 and you make them rest from their burdens!" 6 The same day Pharaoh commanded the z taskmasters of the people and their a foremen, 7 "You shall no longer give the people straw to make bricks, as in the past; let them go and gather straw for themselves. 8 But the number of bricks that they made in the past you shall impose on them, you shall by no means reduce it, for they are idle. Therefore they cry, 'Let us go and offer sacrifice to our God.' 9 Let heavier work be laid on the men that they may labor at it and pay no regard to lying words."

10 So the b taskmasters and the foremen of the people went out and said to the people, "Thus says Pharaoh, 'I will not give you straw. 11 Go and get your straw yourselves wherever you can find it, but your work will not be reduced in the least.'" 12 So the people were scattered throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw. 13 The c taskmasters were urgent, saying, "Complete your work, your daily task each day, as when there was straw." 14 And the foremen of the people of Israel, whom Pharaoh's c taskmasters had set over them, were beaten and were asked, "Why have you not done all your task of making bricks today and yesterday, as in the past?"

15 Then the foremen of the people of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, "Why do you treat your servants like this? 16 No straw is given to your servants, yet they say to us, 'Make bricks!' And behold, your servants are beaten; but the fault is in your own people." 17 But he said, "You are idle, you are idle; that is why you say, 'Let us go and sacrifice to the Lord.' 18 Go now and work. No straw will be given you, but you must still deliver the same number of bricks." 19 The foremen of the people of Israel saw that they were in trouble when they said, "You shall by no means reduce your number of bricks, your daily task each day." 20 They met Moses and Aaron, who were waiting for them, as they came out from Pharaoh; 21 and d they said to them, "The Lord look on you and judge, because you have made us stink in the sight of Pharaoh and his servants, and have put a sword in their hand to kill us."

22 Then Moses turned to the Lord and said, "O Lord, why have you done evil to this people? Why did you ever send me? 23 For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has done evil to this people, and you have not delivered your people at all."

Exodus 6

God Promises Deliverance

1 But the Lord said to Moses, "Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh; for with a strong hand he will send them out, and with e a strong hand he will f drive them out of his land."

2 God spoke to Moses and said to him, g "I am the Lord. 3 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as h God Almighty, 5 but by my name the i Lord I did not make myself known to them. 4 j I also established my covenant with them k to give them the land of Canaan, the land in which they lived as sojourners. 5 Moreover, l I have heard the groaning of the people of Israel whom the Egyptians hold as slaves, and I have remembered my covenant. 6 Say therefore to the people of Israel, m 'I am the Lord, and n I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from slavery to them, and o I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great acts of judgment. 7 I p will take you to be my people, and q I will be your God, and you shall know that m I am the Lord your God, who has brought you out n from under the burdens of the Egyptians. 8 I will bring you into r the land that I s swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. I will give it to you for a possession. m I am the Lord.'" 9 Moses spoke thus to the people of Israel, but they t did not listen to Moses, because of their broken spirit and harsh slavery.

10 So the Lord said to Moses, 11 "Go in, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt to let the people of Israel go out of his land." 12 But Moses said to the Lord, "Behold, the people of Israel have t not listened to me. How then shall Pharaoh listen to me, for u I am of uncircumcised lips?" 13 But the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron and gave them a charge about the people of Israel and about Pharaoh king of Egypt: to bring the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

The Genealogy of Moses and Aaron

14 These are the heads of their fathers' houses: the v sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi; these are the clans of Reuben. 15 The w sons of Simeon: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul, the son of a Canaanite woman; these are the clans of Simeon. 16 These are the names of the x sons of Levi according to their generations: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari, the years of the life of Levi being 137 years. 17 The y sons of Gershon: Libni and Shimei, by their clans. 18 The z sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, the years of the life of Kohath being 133 years. 19 The a sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. These are the clans of the Levites according to their generations. 20 b Amram took as his wife Jochebed his father's sister, and she bore him Aaron and Moses, the years of the life of Amram being 137 years. 21 c The sons of Izhar: Korah, Nepheg, and Zichri. 22 The d sons of Uzziel: Mishael, Elzaphan, and Sithri. 23 Aaron took as his wife Elisheba, the daughter of e Amminadab and the sister of f Nahshon, and she bore him g Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 24 The h sons of Korah: Assir, Elkanah, and Abiasaph; these are the clans of the Korahites. 25 Eleazar, Aaron's son, took as his wife one of the daughters of Putiel, and i she bore him Phinehas. These are the heads of the fathers' houses of the Levites by their clans.

26 These are the Aaron and Moses j to whom the Lord said: "Bring out the people of Israel from the land of Egypt k by their hosts." 27 It was they who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt about bringing out the people of Israel from Egypt, this Moses and this Aaron.

28 On the day when the Lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt, 29 the Lord said to Moses, l "I am the Lord; m tell Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say to you." 30 But Moses said to the Lord, "Behold, n I am of uncircumcised lips. How will Pharaoh listen to me?"
