7123. Verses 10-13 And the taskmasters of the people and their officers went out and said to the people - they said, Thus said Pharaoh, By no means do I give you straw. Go yourselves, get yourselves straw from where you will find it, for there will be no reduction at all of your service. And the people scattered themselves into all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw. And the taskmasters were urgent, saying, Finish your work, ¹ your stint for the day, ² as when there was straw.
