Exodus 5:8-10

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁸ And the tally of the bricks which they made before, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish any of it; for they are idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.

⁹ Let more work be laid upon them that they may occupy themselves with it; and let them not regard words of deception.

¹⁰ ¶ And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spoke to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you firewood.
