Exodus 5:12-14

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹² And the people was scattered through all the land of Egypt to gather straw.

¹³ And the overseers of the works pressed them, saying: Fulfill your work every day as before you were wont to do when straw was given you.

¹⁴ And they that were over the works of the children of Israel were scourged by Pharao's taskmasters, saying: Why have you not made up the task of bricks both yesterday and to day as before?
