Then the chiefs of Pharaoh’s people said to Pharaoh:
O King, Will you leave Moses and his people to work corruption in the land, by calling to disobedience against you, and flout you and your gods?
Will you leave Moses and his people to make mischief in the land by changing the religion and worship, and abandon you and the worship of your gods?

Pharaoh said:
We will slay their sons, their young sons, as we did the first time and spare their grown up women,
We shall slaughter their new-born sons and spare their women, keeping them alive, as we did with them before. For lo! we are in power over them; we have dominance and supremacy over them, and they did this to them, and so the Children of Israel grieved. Then what?
