    5Pharaoh also saith, `Lo, numerous now `is' the people of the land, and ye have caused them to cease from their burdens!'

    6And Pharaoh commandeth, on that day, the exactors among the people and its authorities, saying,

    8and the proper quantity of the bricks which they are making heretofore ye do put on them, ye do not diminish from it, for they are remiss, therefore they are crying, saying, Let us go, let us sacrifice to our God;

    9let the service be heavy on the men, and let them work at it, and not be dazzled by lying words.'

    10And the exactors of the people, and its authorities, go out, and speak unto the people, saying, `Thus said Pharaoh, I do not give you straw,
