Glancing Through the Scriptures!

(KJV.)  EXODUS 5:1-7

Pharaoh oppresses Israel.

(1)  AND AFTERWARD.  Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh,  Thus saith the LORD God of Israel,  Let my people go: that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.

(2)  And Pharaoh said.  Who is the LORD,  that I should obey his voice to let Israel go?  I know not the LORD,  neither will I let Israel go.

(3)  And they said,  The God of the Hebrews hath met with us:  let us go, we pray thee, three days journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the LORD our God, lest he falls upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.

(4)  And the king of Egypt said unto them,  Wherefore do ye Moses and Aaron: let the people from their works?  get you unto your burdens.

(5)  And Pharaoh said,  Behold, the people of the land now are many, and ye make them rest from their burdens.

(6)  And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their officers; saying,

(7)  Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore;  let them go and gather straw for themselves.

ADDENDUM

Why did God ask Pharaoh to let his children go from his land?

Who commanded Pharaoh to let the people go, Moses or Aaron?

How come, Pharaoh, ask the Israelites to make straws for themselves?
