Exodus 5:10-14

10So the taskmastersH5065 and foremenH7860 of the peopleH5971 went outH3318 and saidH559 toH413 themH5971, “This is whatH3541H559 PharaohH6547 saysH559: ‘I am no longerH369 givingH5414 you strawH8401. 11GoH1980 and getH3947 your own strawH8401 whereverH834 you can find itH4672; butH3588 your workloadH5656 will in no wayH369 be reducedH1639.’”

12So the peopleH5971 scatteredH6327 all overH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 to gatherH7197 stubbleH7179 for strawH8401. 13The taskmastersH5065 kept pressing themH213, sayingH559, “FulfillH3615 your quotaH1697H4639 each dayH3117, just as you did whenH834 strawH8401 was providedH1961.”

14Then the IsraeliteH1121H3478 foremenH7860, whomH834 Pharaoh’sH6547 taskmastersH5065 had setH7760 over the peopleH5921, were beatenH5221 and askedH559, “WhyH4069 have you notH3808 fulfilledH3615 your quotaH2706 of bricksH3835 yesterdayH8543 or todayH1571H3117, as you did beforeH8543H1571H8032?”
