Exodus 5:16 in Context — Exodus 5
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?
15 E os supervisores dos filhos de Israel vieram a Faraó, e se queixaram a ele, dizendo: Por que o fazes assim com teus servos?
16 Não se dá palha a teus servos, e, contudo, nos dizem: Fazei os tijolos. E eis que teus servos são açoitados, e teu povo cai em falta.
17 E ele respondeu: Estais ociosos, sim, ociosos, e por isso dizeis: Vamos e sacrifiquemos ao SENHOR.
18 Ide, pois, agora, e trabalhai. Não se vos dará palha, e haveis de dar a tarefa dos tijolos.
