Exodus 5:7-14

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.

10And the taskmastersH5065 of the peopleH5971 wentH3318 out, and their officersH7860, and they spake to the peopleH5971, sayingH559, ThusH3541 saith PharaohH6547, I will not giveH5414 you strawH8401. 11Go yourselves, get you strawH8401 whereH834 ye can findH4672 it: for nought of your workH5656 shall be diminishedH1639. 12So the peopleH5971 were scatteredH6327 abroad throughout all the landH776 of EgyptH4714 to gather stubbleH7179 for strawH8401. 13And the taskmastersH5065 were urgent sayingH559, Fulfil your worksH4639, your daily tasks, as when there wasH1961 strawH8401. 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?
