Shemot 5:12-14

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹² So HaAm were scattered abroad throughout kol Eretz Mitzrayim to gather stubble instead of straw.

¹³ And the nogesim pressed them, saying, Fulfil your ma’asim, your daily tasks, as when there was straw.

¹⁴ And the foremen of the Bnei Yisroel, which Pharaoh’s nogesim had set over them, were beaten, and were asked, Why have ye not fulfilled your task in making brick both yesterday and today, as heretofore?
