Exodus 5:4Catholic Public Domain VersionThe king of Egypt said to them: "Why do you, Moses and Aaron, distract the people from their works? Go back to your burdens." See the chapter |
And the leaders said to the king: "We petition you to put this man to death. For he is deliberately weakening the hands of the men of war, who have remained in this city, and the hands of the people, by speaking to them with these words. For this man is certainly not seeking peace for this people, but evil."
