Exodus 5:10-12

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁰ Then, the taskmasters of the people and their officers went out and told the people, saying, “Thus says Pharaoh, ‘I will give you no more straw.

¹¹ “Go get straw for yourselves, wherever you can find it. But nothing of your labor shall be diminished.’”

¹² Then, the people were scattered throughout all the land of Egypt, to gather chaff instead of straw.
