Exodus 5:12 in Context — Exodus 5

10 E saindo os capatazes do povo e seus governadores, falaram ao povo, dizendo: Assim disse Faraó: Eu não vos dou palha.

11 Ide vós, e recolhei palha de onde a achardes; que nada se diminuirá de vossa tarefa.

12 Então o povo se espalhou por toda a terra do Egito a colher restolho em lugar de palha.

13 E os capatazes os apressavam, dizendo: Acabai vossa obra, a tarefa do dia em seu dia, como quando se vos dava palha.

14 E açoitavam aos supervisores dos filhos de Israel, que os capatazes de Faraó haviam posto sobre eles, dizendo: Por que não cumpristes vossa tarefa de tijolos nem ontem nem hoje, como antes?
