Exodus 5:7-14

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

10And the taskmastersH5065 of the peopleH5971 went outH3318, and their officersH7860, and they spakeH559 to the peopleH5971, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 PharaohH6547, I will not giveH5414 you strawH8401. 11GoH3212 ye, getH3947 you strawH8401 whereH834 ye can findH4672 it: yetH3588 not oughtH1697 of your workH5656 shall be diminishedH1639. 12So the peopleH5971 were scattered abroadH6327 throughout all the landH776 of EgyptH4714 to gatherH7197 stubbleH7179 instead of strawH8401. 13And the taskmastersH5065 hastedH213 them, sayingH559, FulfilH3615 your worksH4639, your dailyH3117 tasksH1697, as when there wasH1961 strawH8401.2 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?
