Exodus 5:10-14

10And the taskmasters of the people and their officers went out and spoke to the people, saying, Thus says Pharaoh: I will not give you straw:

11go ye, get yourselves straw where ye may find it; but none of your work shall be diminished.

12And the people were scattered abroad throughout the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.

13And the taskmasters urged [them], saying, Fulfil your labours, the daily work, as when there was straw.

14And the officers of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, [and] it was said, Why have ye not fulfilled your task in making brick, both yesterday and to-day, as heretofore?
