Exodus 5:7-9

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁷ Ye shall no longer give the people firewood to make brick as until now; let them go and gather firewood for themselves.

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.
