see Hebrew for [01129]
Ye shall no more [03254] give [05414] the people [05971] straw [08401] to make [03835] brick [03843], as heretofore [08543] [08032]: let them go [03212] and gather [07197] straw [08401] for themselves.
And the taskmasters [05065] of the people [05971] went out [03318], and their officers [07860], and they spake [0559] to the people [05971], saying [0559], Thus saith [0559] Pharaoh [06547], I will not give [05414] you straw [08401].
Go [03212] ye, get [03947] you straw [08401] where [0834] ye can find [04672] it: yet [03588] not ought [01697] of your work [05656] shall be diminished [01639].
So the people [05971] were scattered abroad [06327] throughout all the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] to gather [07197] stubble [07179] instead of straw [08401].
And the taskmasters [05065] hasted [0213] them, saying [0559], Fulfil [03615] your works [04639], your daily [03117] tasks [01697], as when there was [01961] straw [08401].your daily…: Heb. a matter of a day in his day
There is no straw [08401] given [05414] unto thy servants [05650], and they say [0559] to us, Make [06213] brick [03843]: and, behold, thy servants [05650] are beaten [05221]; but the fault [02398] is in thine own people [05971].
Go [03212] therefore now, and work [05647]; for there shall no straw [08401] be given [05414] you, yet shall ye deliver [05414] the tale [08506] of bricks [03843].
