    4And the king of Egypt said to them, Why do you, Moses and Aaron, take the people away from their work? Go back to your burdens.

    5And Pharaoh said, Look, the people of the land are now many, and you make them rest from their burdens.

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

    7You shall no longer give the people straw to make bricks as before: let them go and gather straw for themselves.

    8And the quota of bricks, which they made before, you shall lay upon them; you shall not diminish anything from it: for they are idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.

    9Let more work be laid upon the men, so they may labor in it; and let them not regard lying words.

    10And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spoke to the people, saying, This is what Pharaoh says, I will not give you straw.

    11Go, get straw where you can find it: yet nothing of your work shall be diminished.

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

    13And the taskmasters hastened them, saying, Fulfill your work, 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 questioned, Why have you not fulfilled your task in making bricks both yesterday and today, as before?
