Exodus 5:12 BBE

¹⁰  And the overseers of the people and their responsible men went out and said to the people, Pharaoh says, I will give you no more dry stems.

¹¹  Go yourselves and get dry stems wherever you are able; for your work is not to be any less.

¹²  So the people were sent in all directions through the land of Egypt to get dry grass for stems.

¹³  And the overseers went on driving them and saying, Do your full day's work as before when there were dry stems for you.

¹⁴  And the responsible men of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh's overseers had put over them, were given blows, and they said to them, Why have you not done your regular work, in making bricks as before?
