Exodus 5:3 in Context — Exodus 5
1 Moïse et Aaron se rendirent ensuite auprès de Pharaon, et lui dirent: Ainsi parle l’Éternel, le Dieu d’Israël: Laisse aller mon peuple, pour qu’il célèbre au désert une fête en mon honneur.
2 Pharaon répondit: Qui est l’Éternel, pour que j’obéisse à sa voix, en laissant aller Israël? Je ne connais point l’Éternel, et je ne laisserai point aller Israël.
3 Ils dirent: Le Dieu des Hébreux nous est apparu. Permets-nous de faire trois journées de marche dans le désert, pour offrir des sacrifices à l’Éternel, afin qu’il ne nous frappe pas de la peste ou de l’épée.
4 Et le roi d’Égypte leur dit: Moïse et Aaron, pourquoi détournez-vous le peuple de son ouvrage? Allez à vos travaux.
5 Pharaon dit: Voici, ce peuple est maintenant nombreux dans le pays, et vous lui feriez interrompre ses travaux!
