Exodus 5:7 in Context — Exodus 5

5 Disse também Faraó: Eis que o povo da terra é agora muito, e vós lhes fazeis cessar de suas cargas.

6 E mandou Faraó aquele mesmo dia aos capatazes do povo que o tinham à sua responsabilidade, e a seus governadores, dizendo:

7 De aqui adiante não dareis palha ao povo para fazer tijolos, como ontem e antes de ontem; vão eles e recolham por si mesmos a palha;

8 E haveis de pôr-lhes a tarefa dos tijolos que faziam antes, e não lhes diminuireis nada; porque estão ociosos, e por isso levantam a voz dizendo: Vamos e sacrificaremos a nosso Deus.

9 Agrave-se a servidão sobre eles, para que se ocupem nela, e não atendam a palavras de mentira.
