NASB
""You are no longer to give the people straw to make brick as previously; let them go and gather straw for themselves."
— Exodus 5:7, NASB
“Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.”
“Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves. ”
“"You shall no longer give the people straw to make brick, as before. Let them go and gather straw for themselves.”
““You must no longer give straw to the people for making bricks as before. Let them go and collect straw for themselves.”
“You shall give straw no more to the people to make brick, as before; but let them go and gather straw.”
“Give these men no more dry stems for their brick-making as you have been doing; let them go and get the material for themselves.”
“Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.”
But the king of Egypt said to them, "Moses and Aaron, why do you draw the people away from their work? Get back to your labors!"
Again Pharaoh said, "Look, the people of the land are now many, and you would have them cease from their labors!"
So the same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters over the people and their foremen, saying,
"You are no longer to give the people straw to make brick as previously; let them go and gather straw for themselves.
"But the quota of bricks which they were making previously, you shall impose on them; you are not to reduce any of it. Because they are lazy, therefore they cry out, 'Let us go and sacrifice to our God.'
"Let the labor be heavier on the men, and let them work at it so that they will pay no attention to false words."
So the taskmasters of the people and their foremen went out and spoke to the people, saying, "Thus says Pharaoh, 'I am not going to give you any straw.
