Exodus 5:4-9

4And the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 saidH559 unto them, Wherefore do ye, MosesH4872 and AaronH175, loose the peopleH5971 from their worksH4639? get you unto your burdens. 5And PharaohH6547 saidH559, Behold, the peopleH5971 of the landH776 are nowH6258 manyH7227, and ye make them rest from their burdens. 6And the same dayH3117 PharaohH6547 commandedH6680 the taskmastersH5065 of the peopleH5971, and their officersH7860, sayingH559, 7Ye shall no more giveH5414 the peopleH5971 strawH8401 to makeH5414 brickH3843, as heretofore: let them go and gather strawH8401 for themselves. 8And the number of the bricksH3843, which they did makeH7760 heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish aught thereof: for they are idle; thereforeH3651 they cryH6817, sayingH559, Let us goH7503 and sacrificeH2076 to our GodH430. 9Let heavierH3513 workH5656 be laid upon the menH376, that they may laborH5656 therein; and let them not regard lyingH8267 wordsH1697.
