Exodus 5:14-18

14And the officersH7860 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, which Pharaoh’sH6547 taskmastersH5065 had setH7760 over them, were beatenH5221, and demandedH559, Wherefore have ye not fulfilledH3615 your taskH2706 in making brickH3835 both yesterdayH8543 and to dayH3117, as heretoforeH8543H8032?

15Then the officersH7860 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 and criedH6817 unto PharaohH6547, sayingH559, Wherefore dealestH6213 thou thus with thy servantsH5650? 16There is no strawH8401 givenH5414 unto thy servantsH5650, and they sayH559 to us, MakeH6213 brickH3843: and, behold, thy servantsH5650 are beatenH5221; but the faultH2398 is in thine own peopleH5971. 17But he saidH559, Ye are idleH7503, ye are idleH7503: therefore ye sayH559, Let us goH3212 and do sacrificeH2076 to YhwhH3068. 18GoH3212 therefore now, and workH5647; for there shall no strawH8401 be givenH5414 you, yet shall ye deliverH5414 the taleH8506 of bricksH3843.
