Is not this the word that we spake unto thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it were better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.
Wheþer this is not þe word which we spaken to þee in Egipt, and seiden, Go awei fro vs, þat we serue Egipcians? for it is myche betere to serue hem, than to die in wildirnesse.
