10So 1the taskmastersH5065 of the peopleH5971 and their foremenH7860 wentH3318 out and spokeH559 to the peopleH5971, sayingH559, “ThusH3541 saysH559 PharaohH6547, ‘I am not going to giveH5414 you any strawH8401. 11You goH1980 and getH3947 strawH8401 for yourselves whereverH4480H834 you can findH4672 it, but noneH369 of your laborH5656 will be reducedH1639.’” 12So the peopleH5971 scatteredH6327 through allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 to gatherH7197 stubbleH7179 for strawH8401. 13The taskmastersH5065 pressedH213 them, sayingH559, “CompleteH3615 your 2workH4639 quotaH4639, 3your dailyH3117 amountH1697H3117, justH3512 as when 4you hadH1961 strawH8401.” 14Moreover, 5the foremenH7860 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, whomH834 Pharaoh’sH6547 taskmastersH5065 had setH7760 overH5921 them, 6were beatenH5221 7and were askedH559, “WhyH4069 have you not completedH3615 your requiredH2706 amountH2706 eitherH1571 yesterdayH8543 orH1571 todayH3117 in makingH3835 brickH3835 as previouslyH8543H8032?”
