Exodus 5:13 in Context — Exodus 5

11 allez vous-mêmes vous procurer de la paille où vous en trouverez, car l’on ne retranche rien de votre travail.

12 Le peuple se répandit dans tout le pays d’Égypte, pour ramasser du chaume au lieu de paille.

13 Les inspecteurs les pressaient, en disant: Achevez votre tâche, jour par jour, comme quand il y avait de la paille.

14 On battit même les commissaires des enfants d’Israël, établis sur eux par les inspecteurs de Pharaon: Pourquoi, disait-on, n’avez-vous pas achevé hier et aujourd’hui, comme auparavant, la quantité de briques qui vous avait été fixée?

15 Les commissaires des enfants d’Israël allèrent se plaindre à Pharaon, et lui dirent: Pourquoi traites-tu ainsi tes serviteurs?
