Source: Septuagint

12So the people were dispersed in all the land of Egypt, to gather stubble for straw.
13And the taskmasters hastened them, saying, Fulfill your regular daily tasks, even as when straw was given you.
— Exodus 5:14 —
15And the accountants of the children of Israel went in and cried to Pharaoh, saying, Why dost thou act thus to thy servants?
16Straw is not given to thy servants, and they tell us to make brick; and behold thy servants have been scourged: thou wilt therefore injure thy people.
