Ex. 7:16 in context

Ex. 7:15      Ex. 7:17

Exodus 7:16

You shall say to him, 'The Lord (Yahweh), the God of the Hebrews (Elohim), has sent me to you, saying, "Let my people go, that they may serve (worship) me in the wilderness," and behold, you have not listened.
[Here, the Hebrew word avad is used to mean "serve." The word means to worship but also to work. The same word is used in verse Ex. 20:9 about "working" six days and about slave labor in Ex. 1:13, 14, see also Gen. 2:5; 15. In Greek philosophy and thinking, which has greatly influenced the Western world, work is considered evil and the spiritual good. For God, worship and work belong together.]
