2. Mosebok 5,10

Pharaoh

8 Men dere må fortsatt kreve at de produserer samme kvote murstein som tidligere; ikke reduser den. De er late, og det er derfor de roper: 'La oss gå og ofre til vår Gud.'

9 Gjør arbeidet mer byrdefullt for mennene, så de fortsetter å arbeide og ikke legger merke til løgnene.»

Så gikk oppsynsmennene og formennene ut og informerte folket: «Dette er hva farao sier: 'Jeg vil ikke gi dere halm.

11 Gå og samle halm selv hvor dere kan finne det, men arbeidsmengden deres vil ikke bli redusert i det hele tatt.'»

12 Dermed spredte folket seg over hele Egypt for å samle halmstrå.
