Scofield Reference Bible Notes
Exodus 5

Exo 5:1-23—The contest with Pharaoh: the first demand; the increased burdens.

Exo 5:1 And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.

Let my people go

Cf. Exodus 4:22, 23. Possibly Moses and Aaron shrank from delivering the message concerning the firstborn.

Exo 5:3 And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the LORD our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.

three days' journey

Cf. Matthew 12:38-40. By death and resurrection will God have his people separated from Egypt—the world. (Romans 6:1-11; Galatians 6:14-15; Hebrews 13:12, 13).
