Exodus 5:17 in Context — Exodus 5
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.
19 Então os supervisores dos filhos de Israel se viram em aflição, tendo lhes dito: Não se diminuirá nada de vossos tijolos, da tarefa de cada dia.
