shall lay upon them: ye shall not
diminish aught thereof: for they be
idle: therefore they cry. saying. Let

taskmasters had set over them,

Is q Then the oficers of the
children of Israel came and cried
unto Pharaoh. saying. Wherefore
dealest thou thus with thy servantss
16 There is no straw given unto
thy servants, and they say to US,
Make brick: and. behold. thy serv-

thine own people.
II But he said, Ye are idle, ye
are idle: therefore ye say, Let us
60 and do sacrifice to the Lord.
Is Go therefore now. and work:
for there shall no. straw be given
you. yet shall ye deliver the tale
of bricks.
