7135. Verses 14-18 And the officers of the children of Israel were beaten, whom Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, saying, Why do you not finish your appointed task to make bricks, as you did yesterday and the day before 1 - as yesterday, so today? And the officers of the children of Israel came and cried out to Pharaoh, saying, Why do you deal thus with your servants? No straw is given to your servants, and they say to us, Make bricks. And behold, your servants are beaten, and your people have sinned. And he said, You are slack, you are slack! Therefore you say, Let us go, let us sacrifice to Jehovah. And now go, serve; 2 and no straw will be given you, and you shall deliver the tally of bricks.

'And the officers of the children of Israel were beaten' means that those in the nearest position to receive molestations and pass them on suffered harm from the falsities that had been introduced. 'Whom Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them' means those who were introduced by the ones who were the molesters. 'Saying, Why do you not finish your appointed task to make bricks' means that they fail to do as they have been commanded, to receive and then pass on the falsities that have been introduced. 'As you did yesterday and the day before' means as they did in the previous state. 'As yesterday, so today' means the state to come, from then on. 'And the officers of the children of Israel came' means those in the nearest position to receive things and pass them on. 'And cried out to Pharaoh' means resentment expressed to those who were molesting. 'Saying, Why do you deal thus with your servants?' means that under the present circumstances they could not perform their prescribed function. 'No straw is given to your servants' means that they were no longer being supplied with factual knowledge that is a container for truth. 'And they say to us, Make bricks' means that still they had to put up with the falsities that had been introduced. 'And behold, your servants are beaten' means that for that reason the falsities cause harm. 'And your people have sinned' means that for this reason they are guilty of having done what is evil. 'And he said' means the reply. 'You are slack, you are slack!' means that they have not been sufficiently maltreated. 'Therefore you say, Let us go, let us sacrifice to Jehovah' means that for that reason they give thought to such worship. 'And now go, serve' means a continuation of the molestation. 'And no straw will be given you' means without that kind of factual knowledge. 'And you shall deliver the tally of bricks' means the falsities which are to be introduced in abundance.

Exodus 5

Studie

   

1 Afterward Moses and Aaron came, and said to Pharaoh, "This is what Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, 'Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to me in the wilderness.'"

2 Pharaoh said, "Who is Yahweh, that I should listen to his voice to let Israel go? I don't know Yahweh, and moreover I will not let Israel go."

3 They said, "The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Please let us go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to Yahweh, our God, lest he fall on us with pestilence, or with the sword."

4 The king of Egypt said to them, "Why do you, Moses and Aaron, take the people from their work? Get back to your burdens!"

5 Pharaoh said, "Behold, the people of the land are now many, and you make them rest from their burdens."

6 The same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,

7 "You shall no longer give the people straw to make brick, as before. Let them go and gather straw for themselves.

8 The number of the bricks, which they made before, you require from them. You shall not diminish anything of it, for they are idle; therefore they cry, saying, 'Let us go and sacrifice to our God.'

9 Let heavier work be laid on the men, that they may labor therein; and don't let them pay any attention to lying words."

10 The taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spoke to the people, saying, "This is what Pharaoh says: 'I will not give you straw.

11 Go yourselves, get straw where you can find it, for nothing of your work shall be diminished.'"

12 So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.

13 The taskmasters were urgent saying, "Fulfill your work quota daily, as when there was straw!"

14 The officers of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, "Why haven't you fulfilled your quota both yesterday and today, in making brick as before?"

15 Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, saying, "Why do you deal this way with your servants?

16 No straw is given to your servants, and they tell us, 'Make brick!' and behold, your servants are beaten; but the fault is in your own people."

17 But he said, "You are idle! You are idle! Therefore you say, 'Let us go and sacrifice to Yahweh.'

18 Go therefore now, and work, for no straw shall be given to you, yet you shall deliver the same number of bricks!"

19 The officers of the children of Israel saw that they were in trouble, when it was said, "You shall not diminish anything from your daily quota of bricks!"

20 They met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh:

21 and they said to them, "May Yahweh look at you, and judge, because you have made us a stench to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to kill us."

22 Moses returned to Yahweh, and said, "Lord, why have you brought trouble on this people? why is it that you have sent me?

23 For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has brought trouble on this people; neither have you delivered your people at all."
