Exodus 5:12-14

Darby Translation

¹² And the people were scattered abroad throughout the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.

¹³ And the taskmasters urged [them], saying, Fulfil your labours, the daily work, as when there was straw.

¹⁴ And the officers of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, [and] it was said, Why have ye not fulfilled your task in making brick, both yesterday and to-day, as heretofore?
