Exodus 5:14-18

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?”

15So the IsraeliteH1121H3478 foremenH7860 wentH935 and appealedH6817 toH413 PharaohH6547H559: “WhyH4100 are you treatingH6213 your servantsH5650 this wayH3541? 16NoH369 strawH8401 has been givenH5414 to your servantsH5650, yet we are toldH559, ‘MakeH6213 bricksH3843!’ LookH2009, your servantsH5650 are being beatenH5221, but the faultH2398 is with your own peopleH5971.”

17“YouH859 are slackersH7503!” Pharaoh repliedH559. “SlackersH7503! That is whyH5921H3651 youH859 keep sayingH559, ‘Let us goH1980 and sacrificeH2076 to the LORDH3068.’ 18NowH6258 get toH1980 workH5647. You will be givenH5414 noH3808 strawH8401, yet you must deliverH5414 the full quotaH8506 of bricksH3843.”
