Exodus 5:6

⁴  And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, let the people from their works? get you unto your burdens.

⁵  And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are many, and ye make them rest from their burdens.

⁶  And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,

⁷  Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.

⁸  And the tale of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish ought thereof: for they be idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.
