Exodus 5:14-18

14And the officersH7860 of the children of IsraelH3478, whom Pharaoh’s taskmastersH5065 had setH7760 over them, were beaten, and demanded, Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your task both yesterdayH8543 and to-day, in making brick as heretofore?

15Then the officersH7860 of the children of IsraelH3478 cameH935 and criedH6817 unto PharaohH6547, sayingH559, Wherefore dealest thou thusH3541 with thy servantsH5650? 16There is no strawH8401 givenH5414 unto thy servantsH5650, and they sayH559 to us, MakeH5414 brickH3843: and, behold, thy servantsH5650 are beaten; but the fault is in thine own peopleH5971. 17But he saidH559, Ye are idle, ye are idle: thereforeH3651 ye sayH559, Let us goH7503 and sacrificeH2076 to Jehovah. 18Go thereforeH6258 nowH6258, and workH5647; for there shall no strawH8401 be givenH5414 you, yet shall ye deliver the number of bricksH3843.
