6That 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.

12So the people spread out through all the land of Egypt to collect stubble for straw.
13The slave masters were pressuring them, saying,“Complete your work for each day, just like when there was straw!”
14The 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?”
15The Israelite foremen went and cried out to Pharaoh,“Why are you treating your servants this way?
