Exodus 5:6-8

The Voice

Pharaoh: ⁷ Don’t supply the people with any more straw to make bricks as you have been doing. Let them go out and find their own straw. ⁸ But I still want you to expect the same number of bricks from them as before. Even though the task will be harder, do not lessen their load! They are lazy and are asking for time off, saying, “Release us so that we can go sacrifice to our God in the desert and feast in His honor.”
