    11Go yourselves, get you straw where ye can find it; for nought of your work shall be diminished.

    12So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.

    13And the taskmasters were urgent, saying, Fulfil your works, [your] daily tasks, as when there was straw.

    14And the officers of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your task both yesterday and to-day, in making brick as heretofore?

    17But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle: therefore ye say, Let us go and sacrifice to Jehovah.

    18Go therefore now, and work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the number of bricks.
