    4And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, let the people from their works? get you unto your burdens.

    5And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now [are] many, and ye make them rest from their burdens.

    6And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,

    7Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.

    8And the tale of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish [ought] thereof: for they [be] idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go [and] sacrifice to our God.

    9Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labour therein; and let them not regard vain words.

    10¶ And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spake to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you straw.

    11Go ye, get you straw where ye can find it: yet not ought of your work shall be diminished.

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

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

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

    15¶ Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants?

    16There is no straw given unto thy servants, and they say to us, Make brick: and, behold, thy servants [are] beaten; but the fault [is] in thine own people.

    17But he said, Ye [are] idle, [ye are] idle: therefore ye say, Let us go [and] do sacrifice to the LORD.

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