Exodus 5:10 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 5:10

And the taskmasters of the people went out
From the presence of Pharaoh, out of his court, to the respective places where they were set to see that the Israelites did their work:

and their officers;
the officers of the Israelites, who were under the taskmasters, and answerable to them for the work of the people, and their tale of bricks:

and they spake to the people, saying, thus saith Pharaoh, I will not
give you straw;
that is, any longer, as he had used to do.

Exodus 5:10 In-Context

8 et mensuram laterum quos prius faciebant inponetis super eos nec minuetis quicquam vacant enim et idcirco vociferantur dicentes eamus et sacrificemus Deo nostro

9 opprimantur operibus et expleant ea ut non adquiescant verbis mendacibus

10 igitur egressi praefecti operum et exactores ad populum dixerunt sic dicit Pharao non do vobis paleas

11 ite et colligite sicubi invenire potueritis nec minuetur quicquam de opere vestro

12 dispersusque est populus per omnem terram Aegypti ad colligendas paleas
