Exodus 5:20-22

Expanded Bible

²⁰ As they were leaving the meeting with ·the king [^LPharaoh], they met Moses and Aaron, who were waiting for them. ²¹ So they said to Moses and Aaron, “May the Lord ·punish you [^Llook on you and judge]. You ·caused the king and his officers to hate us [^Lhave made us a bad odor in the eyes of Pharaoh and his servants]. You have ·given them an excuse [^Lplaced a sword in their hands] to kill us.”

²² Then Moses returned to the Lord and said, “Lord, why have you brought this ·trouble [evil; harm] on your people? Is this why you sent me here?
