14Moreover, 1the foremenH7860 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, whomH834 Pharaoh’sH6547 taskmastersH5065 had setH7760 overH5921 them, 2were beatenH5221 3and askedH559, “WhyH4069 have you not completedH3615 your requiredH2706 taskH2706 of makingH3835 bricksH3835 eitherH1571 yesterdayH8543 orH1571 todayH3117, as beforeH8543H8032?”

15Then the foremenH7860 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 and criedH6817 outH6817 to PharaohH6547, sayingH559, “WhyH4100 do you dealH6213 thisH3541 wayH3541 with your servantsH5650? 16ThereH369 isH369 noH369 strawH8401 givenH5414 to your servantsH5650, yet they keep sayingH559 to us, ‘MakeH6213 bricksH3843!’ And beholdH2009, your servantsH5650 are being beatenH5221; but it is the faultH2398 of your own peopleH5971.” 17But he saidH559, “You are 4lazyH7503, very lazyH7503; forH5921 thatH5921H3651 reasonH5921H3651 you sayH559, ‘Let us goH1980 and sacrificeH2076 to the LordH3068.’ 18So goH1980 nowH6258 and workH5647; for you will be givenH5414 noH3808 strawH8401, but you must deliverH5414 the quotaH8506 of bricksH3843.”
