##### A slave's work #####
|

|
##### "Let my people go" #####
|
||
|
|
This is a very important statement. Moses does not ask Pharaoh for permission to "let go" of the Hebrew people. Instead, he is demanding that Pharaoh free the Hebrew people.

##### Titles #####
|
||
|
|
The leaders are given different titles in this chapter. The ULB uses "taskmasters" and "foreman." Many cultures will not have these types of titles. Generic words like "Egyptian leaders" and "Hebrew leader" may be necessary. The translator has freedom to adapt these titles as needed.
