Exodus 5:15 in Context — Exodus 5

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?

16 On ne donne point de paille à tes serviteurs, et l’on nous dit: Faites des briques! Et voici, tes serviteurs sont battus, comme si ton peuple était coupable.

17 Pharaon répondit: Vous êtes des paresseux, des paresseux! Voilà pourquoi vous dites: Allons offrir des sacrifices à l’Éternel!
