*
Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick ,
as heretofore shilshowm #:
let them go and gather straw for themselves .
*
And the tale of the bricks ,
which they did make heretofore shilshowm #,
ye shall lay upon them ;
ye shall not diminish ought thereof :
for they be idle ;
therefore they cry ,
saying ,
Let us go and sacrifice to our God .
*
Let there more work be laid upon the men ,
that they may labour therein ;
and let them not regard vain words .
*
And the taskmasters of the people went out ,
and their officers ,
and they spake to the people ,
saying ,
Thus saith Pharaoh Par #
oh #,
I will not give you straw .
*
Go ye ,
get you straw where ye can find it :
yet not ought of your work shall be diminished .
*
So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw .
*
And the taskmasters hasted them ,
saying ,
Fulfil your works ma #
aseh #,
your daily tasks ,
as when there was straw .
*
And the officers of the children of Israel Yisra #
el #,
which Pharaohs taskmasters had set over them ,
were beaten ,
and demanded ,
Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your task in making brick both yesterday and to day ,
as heretofore shilshowm #?
*
Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh Par #
oh #,
saying ,
Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants ?
*
There is no straw given unto thy servants ,
and they say to us ,
Make brick :
and ,
behold ,
thy servants are beaten ;
but the fault is in thine own people .
*
But he said ,
Ye are idle ,
ye are idle :
therefore ye say ,
Let us go and do sacrifice to the LORD .
*
Go therefore now ,
and work ;
for there shall no straw be given you ,
yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks .
*
And the officers of the children of Israel did see that they were in evil case ,
after it was said ,
Ye shall not minish ought from your bricks of your daily yowm #
task .
*
And they met Moses and Aaron ,
who stood in the way ,
as they came forth from Pharaoh Par #
oh #:
*
And they said unto them ,
The LORD look upon you ,
and judge ;
because ye have made our savour to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh Par #
oh #,
and in the eyes of his servants ,
to put a sword in their hand to slay us .
