“ You shall no longer give the people straw to make brick, as before. Let them go and gather straw for themselves.You shall require from them the number of the bricks which they made before. You shall not diminish anything of it, for they are idle. Therefore they cry, saying,‘ Let’s go and sacrifice to our God.’Let heavier work be laid on the men, that they may labor in it. Don’t let them pay any attention to lying words.”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.Go yourselves, get straw where you can find it, for nothing of your work shall be diminished.’”So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.The taskmasters were urgent saying,“ Fulfill your work quota daily, as when there was straw!”The officers of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh’s taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and were asked,“ Why haven’t you fulfilled your quota both yesterday and today, in making brick as before?”Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, saying,“ Why do you deal this way with your servants?No straw is given to your servants, and they tell us,‘ Make brick!’ and behold, your servants are beaten; but the fault is in your own people.”But Pharaoh said,“ You are idle! You are idle! Therefore you say,‘ Let’s go and sacrifice to Yahweh.’Go therefore now, and work; for no straw shall be given to you; yet you shall deliver the same number of bricks!”
