Exodus 5:3 in Context — Exodus 5
1 Depois entraram Moisés e Arão a Faraó, e lhe disseram: O SENHOR, o Deus de Israel, disse assim: Deixa ir meu povo a celebrar-me festa no deserto.
2 E Faraó respondeu: Quem é o SENHOR, para que eu ouça sua voz e deixe ir a Israel? Não conheço o SENHOR, nem tampouco deixarei Israel ir.
3 E eles disseram: O Deus dos hebreus nos encontrou: iremos, pois, agora caminho de três dias pelo deserto, e sacrificaremos ao SENHOR nosso Deus; para que não venha sobre nós com pestilência ou com espada.
4 Então o rei do Egito lhes disse: Moisés e Arão, por que fazeis cessar ao povo de sua obra? Ide a vossas cargas.
5 Disse também Faraó: Eis que o povo da terra é agora muito, e vós lhes fazeis cessar de suas cargas.
