    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,

    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.
