Exodus 5:11 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 5:11

Go ye, get ye straw, where you can find it
Before it was provided by the king, and brought to the brickkilns, but now they are bid to go and fetch it themselves, and get it where they could, whether in fields or barns; and if they were obliged to pay for it out of their labour; it was a greater oppression still:

yet not ought of your work shall be diminished;

9 Men verzware den dienst over deze mannen, dat zij daaraan te doen hebben, en zich niet vergapen aan leugenachtige woorden.
10 Toen gingen de aandrijvers des volks uit, en deszelfs ambtlieden, en spraken tot het volk, zeggende: Zo zegt Farao: Ik zal ulieden geen stro geven.
11 Gaat gij zelve heen, haalt u stro, waar gij het vindt; doch van uw dienst zal niet verminderd worden.
12 Toen verstrooide zich het volk in het ganse land van Egypte, dat het stoppelen verzamelde, voor stro.
13 En de aandrijvers drongen aan, zeggende: Voleindigt uw werken, elk dagwerk op zijn dag, gelijk toen er stro was.
