Exodus 5:10-12

Jubilee Bible 2000

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.

¹¹ Go ye, gather firewood where ye can find it; yet none of your work shall be diminished.

¹² So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather brush for firewood.
