6 Therefore, on the same day, he instructed the overseers of the works, and the taskmasters of the people, saying: 7 “You shall no longer give chaff to the people to form bricks, as before. But they may go and gather straw. 8 And you shall impose upon them the same quota of bricks that they made before. Neither will you lessen anything, for they are idle, and therefore they cry out, saying: ‘We shall go and sacrifice to our God.’ 9 They shall be oppressed with works, and these shall occupy them, so that they may not agree to lying words.” Exodus 5:6-9, Catholic Public Domain Version.
