10 And the task-masters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spoke to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you straw.
11 Go ye, get you straw where ye can find it: yet not aught of your work shall be diminished.
12 So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt, to gather stubble instead of straw.
13 And the task-masters hastened [them], saying, Fulfill your works, [your] daily tasks, as when there was straw.
14 And the officers of the children of Israel, which Pharaoh's task-masters had set over them, were beaten, [and] demanded, Why have ye not fulfilled your task in making brick, both yesterday and to-day, as heretofore?
