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?
15 Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, saying, Why dealest thou thus with thy servants?
16 There is no straw given to thy servants, and they say to us, Make brick: and behold, thy servants [are] beaten; but the fault [is] in thy own people.
