1 Derefter gik Moses og Aron hen og sagde til Farao: "Så siger HE EN, Israels Gud: Lad mit Folk rejse, for at de kan holde Højtid for mig i Ørkenen!"

2 Men Farao sagde: "Hvem er HE EN, at jeg skulde adlyde ham og lade Israeliterne rejse? Jeg kender ikke noget til HE EN, og jeg vil heller ikke lade Israeliterne rejse!"

3 De svarede: "Hebræernes Gud har mødt os; tillad os nu at drage tre Dagsrejser ud i Ørkenen og ofre til HE EN. vor Gud, for at han ikke skal slå os med Pest eller Sværd!"

4 Men Ægypterkongen sagde til dem: "Hvorfor vil I, Moses og Aron, forstyrre Folket i dets Arbejde? Gå til eders Trællearbejde!"

5 Og Farao sagde: "Folket er så vist dovent nok; og nu vil I have dem fri fra deres Trællearbejde!"

6 Samme Dag udstedte Farao følgende Befaling til Fogederne over Folket og dets Opsynsmænd:

7 "I skal ikke mere som hidtil give Folket Halm til Teglarbejdet; de skal selv gå ud og sanke Halm;

8 men alligevel skal I pålægge dem at lave lige så mange Teglsten som hidtil, I må ikke eftergive dem noget; thi de er dovne, og derfor er det, de råber op og siger: Lad os drage ud og ofre til vor Gud!

9 Strengt Arbejde skal de Mennesker have, for at de kan være optaget deraf og ikke af Løgnetale."

10 Da gik Folkets Fogeder og Opsynsmænd ud og sagde til Folket: "Således siger Farao: Jeg vil ikke mere give eder Halm;

11 gå selv ud og sank eder Halm, hvor I kan finde det, men i eders Arbejde bliver der intet eftergivet!"

12 Da spredte Folket sig over hele Ægypten for at samle Halmstrå.

13 Men Fogederne trængte på og sagde: "I skal Dag for Dag yde fuldt Arbejde, ligesom dengang I fik Halm!"

14 Og Israeliternes Opsynsmænd, som Faraos Fogeder havde sat over dem, fik Prygl, og der blev sagt til dem: "Hvorfor stryger I ikke mere det fastsatte Antal Teglsten ligesom før?"

15 Da gik Israeliternes Opsynsmænd hen og råbte til Farao: "Hvorfor handler du således med din Fræne?

16 Dine Trælle får ingen Halm, og dog siger de til os: Lav Teglsten! Og dine Trælle får Prygl; du forsynder dig mod dit Folk."

17 Men han svarede: "I er dovne, det er det, I er! Derfor siger I: Lad os rejse ud og ofre til HE EN!

18 Gå nu hen og tag fat på eders Arbejde; I får ingen Halm, men I skal levere det samme Antal Teglsten!"

19 Israeliternes Opsynsmænd følte sig ilde stedt ved at skulle sige: "Der må intet eftergives i, hvad I daglig skal skaffe af Teglsten!"

20 Og da de ved deres Bortgang fra Farao traf Moses og Aron, som stod og ventede på dem,

21 sagde de til dem: "HE EN se til eder og dømme eder, fordi I har vakt Afsky mod os hos Farao og hans Tjenere og lagt dem et Sværd i Hånden til at dræbe os med!"

22 Da vendte Moses sig igen til HE EN og sagde: "Herre, hvorfor har du handlet ilde med dette Folk? Hvorfor har du udsendt mig?

23 Siden jeg har været hos Farao og talt i dit Navn, har han handlet ilde med dette Folk, og frelst dit Folk har du ikke!"

7143. 'Saying, Why do you deal thus with your servants?' means that under the present circumstances they could not perform their prescribed function. This is clear from the meaning of 'a servant' as one who ministers and performs a function. Because that person is being of service he is referred to as a servant, as in various places in the Word. One who is obedient is called 'a servant' or 'a slave', see 1713, while 'serving' describes diligent effort, 3824, 3846. And since the narrative that follows on from here implies that they could not endure that service [imposed on them], it is evident that 'why do you deal thus with your servants?' means that under the present circumstances they could not perform their prescribed function.

Exodus第5章

学习

   

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."
