    4But the king of Egypt said, "Moses and Aaron, why are you distracting the people from their labor? Get back to your work."

    5And Pharaoh said, "Look, the people of the land are now numerous, and you are stopping them from working!"

    7"You are no longer to supply the people with straw for making bricks; let them go and gather their own straw.

    8But require them to make the same number of bricks as before; don't reduce the quota. They are lazy; that is why they are crying out, 'Let us go and offer sacrifices to our God.'
