In context

⁴But the king of Egypt said to them, “Moses and Aaron, why do you draw the people away from their work? Get back to your labor!”

⁵Pharaoh also said, “Look, the people of the land are now numerous, and you would be stopping them from their labor.”

⁶That same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people and their foremen:

⁷“You shall no longer supply the people with straw for making bricks. They must go and gather their own straw.

⁸But require of them the same quota of bricks as before; do not reduce it. For they are lazy; that is why they are crying out, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to our God.’
