The time phrase, and afterward, marks a transition in the narrative. Use the natural form in your language for introducing a new event. Alternative translation: “After that”

It is unclear how long Moses and Aaron waited before they went to see Pharaoh.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / go

In this instance, depending on how they have to set scenes, some languages may need to use “came in.”

Farˊoh
Pharaoh is reintroduced as a participant in the narrative for the first time since chapter two. Use the natural form in your language for reintroducing a character.

כֹּֽה־אָמַ֤ר יְהוָה֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל שַׁלַּח֙ אֶת־עַמִּ֔י וְיָחֹ֥גּוּ לִ֖י בַּמִּדְבָּֽר
thus he/it_had_said YHWH god Yisrael let_~_go DOM people,my and,hold_a_festival to=me in/on/at/with,wilderness
This is a direct quotation. It may be helpful to your readers to indicate this by marking it with first-level quotation marks or with whatever other punctuation or convention your language uses to indicate a quotation. There is a second-level quotation fully contained within this portion which is addressed elsewhere. There may be other quotations in this chapter; they will be marked by the same punctuation, but they will not have their own notes unless there is something unique about them.
כֹּֽה־אָמַ֤ר יְהוָה֙
thus he/it_had_said YHWH
This quotation formula is used to introduce commands from Yahweh. See 4:intro for more information.
וְיָחֹ֥גּוּ
and,hold_a_festival
This is a celebration to worship Yahweh. Alternative translation: “so they can worship me with eating and drinking”
5:1 so they may hold a festival: See study note on 3:18.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
