Exodus 5:10-12

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁰ So the overseers and foremen of the people went out and said to them, “This is what Pharaoh says:^(A) ‘I am not giving you straw. ¹¹ Go get straw yourselves wherever you can find it, but there will be no reduction at all in your workload.’” ¹² So the people scattered throughout the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.
