10 Then went the taskemaisters of the people, and the officers out, and tolde the people, saying: Thus sayeth Pharao, I wyll geue you no more strawe. 11 Go your selues and gather you straw where ye can finde it: yet shall none of your labour be minished. 12 And so were the people scattered abrode throughout all ye land of Egypt, for to gather stubble in steade of strawe. 13 And the taskemaisters hasted them forwarde, saying: fulfyll your worke, your dayly taskes in their due tyme, as if you had strawe. 14 And the officers of the children of Israel which Pharaos taskemasters had set ouer them, were beaten. And they sayde vnto them: wherfore haue ye not fulfilled your taske in makyng of brycke both yesterday and to day, as well as in tymes past? Exodus 5:10-14, Bishops' Bible of 1568. Public domain.
