Exodus 5:12-14

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹² So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather brush for firewood.

¹³ And the taskmasters hasted them, saying, Fulfil your works, your daily quotas, as when there was firewood.

¹⁴ And the officers of the sons of Israel, whom Pharaoh’s taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and they demanded, Why have ye not fulfilled your quotas in making brick both yesterday and today, as until now?
