Exodus 5:5-9
5And PharaohH6547 saidH559, Behold, the peopleH5971 of the landH776 now are manyH7227, and ye make them restH7673 from their burdensH5450.
6And PharaohH6547 commandedH6680 the same dayH3117 the taskmastersH5065 of the peopleH5971, and their officersH7860, sayingH559,
7Ye shall no moreH3254 giveH5414 the peopleH5971 strawH8401 to makeH3835 brickH3843, as heretoforeH8543H8032: let them goH3212 and gatherH7197 strawH8401 for themselves.
8And the taleH4971 of the bricksH3843, which they did makeH6213 heretoforeH8543H8032, ye shall layH7760 upon them; ye shall not diminishH1639 ought thereof: for they be idleH7503; therefore they cryH6817, sayingH559, Let us goH3212 and sacrificeH2076 to our GodH430.
9Let there more workH5656 be laidH3513 upon the menH582, that they may labourH6213 therein; and let them not regardH8159 vainH8267 wordsH1697.1
