Exodus 5:7-19

7Ye shall noH3808 moreH3254 giveH5414 the peopleH5971 strawH8401 to makeH5414 brickH3843, as heretofore: letH5414 them go and gather strawH8401 for themselvesH1992.

8And the tale of the bricksH3843, whichH834 they didH6213 makeH7760 heretofore, ye shall layH7760 uponH5921 them; ye shall notH3808 diminish aught thereof: for they be idle; therefore they cryH6817, sayingH559, LetH7503 usH5921 goH7503 and sacrificeH2076 to our GodH430.

9LetH408 heavierH3513 workH5656 be laidH3513 uponH5921 the menH376, that they may labour therein; and letH408 them notH408 regardH8159 lyingH8267 wordsH1697.

10And the taskmastersH5065 of the peopleH5971 wentH3318 outH3318, and their officersH7860, and they spake to the peopleH5971, sayingH559, ThusH3541 saith PharaohH6547, I will notH369 giveH5414 youH5414 strawH8401.

11Go yourselves, getH3947 youH859 strawH8401 whereH834 ye canH834 findH4672 it: for nought of your workH5656 shall be diminishedH1639.

12SoH6327 the peopleH5971 were scatteredH6327 abroad throughoutH3605 allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 to gather stubbleH7179 for strawH8401.

13And the taskmastersH5065 were urgent, sayingH559, FulfillH3615 your worksH4639, your dailyH3117 tasks, as when there was strawH8401.

14And the officersH7860 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, whichH834 Pharaoh’sH6547 taskmastersH5065 had setH7760 over them, were beatenH5221, and demanded, Wherefore have ye notH3808 fulfilled your taskH5921 bothH1571 yesterdayH8543 and todayH3117, in making brick as heretofore?

15Then the officersH7860 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 and criedH6817 unto PharaohH6547, sayingH559, Wherefore dealest thou thusH3541 with thy servantsH5650?

16There is noH369 strawH8401 givenH5414 unto thy servantsH5650, and they sayH559 to usH5414, MakeH5414 brickH3843: and, beholdH2009, thy servantsH5650 are beatenH5221; but the faultH2398 is in thine own peopleH5971.

17But he saidH559, Ye are idle, ye are idle: therefore ye sayH559, LetH7503 usH5921 goH7503 and sacrificeH2076 to the LORDH3068.

18Go therefore nowH6258, and workH5647; for there shall noH3808 strawH8401 be givenH5414 youH5414, yet shall ye deliverH5414 the tale of bricksH3843.

19And the officersH7860 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH3808 seeH7200 that they were in evilH7451 caseH1697, when it was saidH559, Ye shall notH3808 minish aught from your bricksH3843, your dailyH3117 tasks.
