Exodus 5:6 in Context — Exodus 5

4 Et le roi d’Égypte leur dit: Moïse et Aaron, pourquoi détournez-vous le peuple de son ouvrage? Allez à vos travaux.

5 Pharaon dit: Voici, ce peuple est maintenant nombreux dans le pays, et vous lui feriez interrompre ses travaux!

6 Et ce jour même, Pharaon donna cet ordre aux inspecteurs du peuple et aux commissaires:

7 Vous ne donnerez plus comme auparavant de la paille au peuple pour faire des briques; qu’ils aillent eux-mêmes se ramasser de la paille.

8 Vous leur imposerez néanmoins la quantité de briques qu’ils faisaient auparavant, vous n’en retrancherez rien; car ce sont des paresseux; voilà pourquoi ils crient, en disant: Allons offrir des sacrifices à notre Dieu!
