4 The king of Egypt said to them,“Moses and Aaron, why do you cause the people to refrain from their work? Return to your labor!”
5 Pharaoh was thinking,“The people of the land are now many, and you are giving them rest from their labor.”
6 That same day Pharaoh commanded the slave masters and foremen who were over the people:
7 “You must no longer give straw to the people for making bricks as before. Let them go and collect straw for themselves.
8 But you must require of them the same quota of bricks that they were making before. Do not reduce it, for they are slackers. That is why they are crying,‘Let us go sacrifice to our God.’

10 So the slave masters of the people and their foremen went to the Israelites and said,“Thus says Pharaoh:‘I am not giving you straw.
11 You go get straw for yourselves wherever you can find it, because there will be no reduction at all in your workload.’”
12 So the people spread out through all the land of Egypt to collect stubble for straw.
13 The slave masters were pressuring them, saying,“Complete your work for each day, just like when there was straw!”
14 The Israelite foremen whom Pharaoh’s slave masters had set over them were beaten and were asked,“Why did you not complete your requirement for brickmaking as in the past– both yesterday and today?”
