In context

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.’

⁹Make the work harder on the men so they will be occupied and pay no attention to these lies.”

¹⁰So the taskmasters and foremen of the people went out and said to them, “This is what Pharaoh says: ‘I am no longer giving you straw.

¹¹Go and get your own straw wherever you can find it; but your workload will in no way be reduced.’”
