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

13 The taskmasters were urgent saying, |Fulfill your work quota daily, as when there was straw!|

14 The officers of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, |Why haven't you fulfilled your quota both yesterday and today, in making brick as before?|

15 Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, saying, |Why do you deal this way with your servants?

16 No straw is given to your servants, and they tell us, 'Make brick!' and behold, your servants are beaten; but the fault is in your own people.|

17 But he said, |You are idle! You are idle! Therefore you say, 'Let us go and sacrifice to Yahweh.'
