Matthew Poole and continuators on Exodus 5:4

4 And the King of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, let the people from their works? Get you unto your burdens .

Either 1. Ye, the Elders of Israel, who are here come with Moses and Aaron: se[illegible: 1+ letters] ver. 1. Or, 2. Y[illegible: 1+ letters] Moses and Aaron. So far am I from granting the liberty which you desire for the people, that as a just punishment upon you for your seditious attempt, I command you also to go with the rest, and to take your share in their burdens, and to perform the task which shall be required of you. And that so cruel a Tyrant did not proceed further against them, must be ascribed to the mighty power of God who governs the spirits and restrains the hands of the greatest Kings, when he pleaseth.
