wherefore: Jeremiah 38:4, Amos 7:10, Luke 23:2, Acts 16:20, Acts 16:21, Acts 24:5
let: Taphreeoo, from pard, to loose, disengage; and which we render let, from the Anglo-Saxon lettan, to hinder. Ye hinder the people from their work: "Get you unto your burdens." "Let religion alone and mind your work." The language not only of tyranny, but of thoughtless irreligion.
burdens: Exodus 1:11
Reciprocal: Exodus 6:7 - from under Exodus 10:11 - And they Jeremiah 32:3 - Wherefore
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the king of Egypt said to them,.... For he was not struck dumb, as Artapanus g, afore cited writer, says:
wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, let the people from their works? as they did when they gathered them together, and wrought signs before them; which Pharaoh it seems had heard of, and had got their names very readily:
get you unto your burdens; meaning not Moses and Aaron, ordering them to go about their private and family business, but the people they represented, and on whose account they came; and it is highly probable the elders of the people, at least some of them, were with them, to whom these words might be more particularly directed. See Exodus 3:18.
g Ut supra. (Apud Euseb. Praepar. Evangel. l. 9. c. 27. p. 434.)
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Let - i. e. hinder.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Exodus 5:4. Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron — He hints that the Hebrews are in a state of revolt, and charges Moses and Aaron as being ringleaders of the sedition. This unprincipled charge has been, in nearly similar circumstances, often repeated since. Men who have laboured to bring the mass of the common people from ignorance, irreligion, and general profligacy of manners, to an acquaintance with themselves and God, and to a proper knowledge of their duty to him and to each other, have been often branded as being disaffected to the state, and as movers of sedition among the people! Exodus 5:17.
Let the people — תפריעו taphriu, from פרע para, to loose or disengage, which we translate to let, from the Anglo-Saxon [Anglo-Saxon] lettan, to hinder. Ye hinder the people from working. Get ye to your burdens. "Let religion alone, and mind your work." The language not only of tyranny, but of the basest irreligion also.
