MEDITATION

Exodus 5:20-23

20 Then, as they came out from Pharaoh, they met Moses and Aaron who stood there to meet them.
21 And they said to them, “Let the LORD look on you and judge, because you have made us abhorrent in the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to kill us.”
22 So Moses returned to the LORD and said, “Lord, why have You brought trouble on this people? Why is it You have sent me?
23 For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in Your name, he has done evil to this people; neither have You delivered Your people at all.”

22摩西回到耶和华那里,说:“主啊,你为什么苦待这百姓呢?为什么打发我去呢?

23自从我去见法老,奉你的名说话,他就苦待这百姓,你一点也没有拯救他们。”
