Exodus 5:5–9 · Berean Standard Bible
5 Pharaoh also said, “Look, the people of the land are now numerous, and you would be stopping them from their labor.”
6 That same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people and their foremen:
7 “You shall no longer supply the people with straw for making bricks. They must go and gather their own straw.
8 But require of them the same quota of bricks as before; do not reduce it. For they are lazy; that is why they are crying out, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to our God.’
9 Make the work harder on the men so they will be occupied and pay no attention to these lies.”
