Exodus 5:6-8

MLV(i) 6 And the same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people and their officers, saying, 7 You* will no more give the people straw to make brick as formerly. Let them go and gather straw for themselves. 8 And the number of the bricks, which they made formerly, you* will lay upon them. You* will not diminish any of it. For they are idle, therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.
