14 Also the aofficers of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh’s taskmasters had set over them, were bbeaten and were asked, “Why have you not fulfilled your task in making brick both yesterday and today, as before?”
15 Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried out to Pharaoh, saying, “Why are you dealing thus with your servants?
16 There is no straw given to your servants, and they say to us, ‘Make brick!’ And indeed your servants are beaten, but the fault is in your own people.”
17 But he said, “You are idle! Idle! Therefore you say, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to the Lord.’
18 Therefore go now and work; for no straw shall be given you, yet you shall deliver the quota of bricks.”
