Exodus 5:1-5 Amplified Bible (AMP)

1. AFTERWARD MOSES and Aaron went in and told Pharaoh, Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, Let My people go, that they may hold a feast to Me in the wilderness.

2. But 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 has met with us; let us go, we pray you, three days' journey into the desert and sacrifice to the Lord our God, lest He fall upon us with pestilence or with the sword.

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

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