Exodus 5:5-9 And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are many, and ye make them rest from their burdens.

Webster⁽ⁱ⁾ 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 task-masters 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 number of the bricks which they made heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish aught thereof; for they are idle: therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God. ⁹ Let more work be laid upon the men, that they may labor therein: and let them not regard vain words.
