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

    13The taskmasters were urgent saying, "Fulfill your work quota daily, as when there was straw!"

    14The officers of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, "Why haven't you fulfilled your quota both yesterday and today, in making brick as before?"
