Then the Israelites cried out to the Lord, because Jabin had 900 iron chariots, and he harshly oppressed them 20 years.

So the Israelite foremen went in and cried for help to Pharaoh:“ Why are you treating your servants this way?No straw has been given to your servants, yet they say to us,‘ Make bricks!’ Look, your servants are being beaten, but it is your own people who are at fault.”But he said,“ You are slackers. Slackers! That is why you are saying,‘ Let us go sacrifice to the Lord.’Now get to work. No straw will be given to you, but you must produce the same quantity of bricks.”The Israelite foremen saw that they were in trouble when they were told,“ You cannot reduce your daily quota of bricks.”

That day Pharaoh commanded the overseers of the people as well as their foremen:“ Don’t continue to supply the people with straw for making bricks, as before. They must go and gather straw for themselves.But require the same quota of bricks from them as they were making before; do not reduce it. For they are slackers— that is why they are crying out,‘ Let us go and sacrifice to our God.’
