- 5And Pharaoh said, Truly, the people of the land are increasing in number, and you are keeping them back from their work.
- 6The same day Pharaoh gave orders to the overseers and those who were responsible for the work, saying,
- 7Give these men no more dry stems for their brick-making as you have been doing; let them go and get the material for themselves.
- 8But see that they make the same number of bricks as before, and no less: for they have no love for work; and so they are crying out and saying, Let us go and make an offering to our God.
