Exodus 5:9 BBE

⁷  Give these men no more dry stems for their brick-making as you have been doing; let them go and get the material for themselves.

⁸  But 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.

⁹  Give the men harder work, and see that they do it; let them not give attention to false words.

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.
