And the taskmasters hasted them forward saying: fulfil your work day by day, even as when straw was given you. And the officers of the children of Israel which Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten. And it was said unto them: wherefore have ye not fulfilled your tas•e in making brick, both yesterday and to day, as well as in times past.

And the taskemasters hastied thē forward sayng: fulfill youre worke daye by daye, euē as when strawe was geuen you.

And it was sayde vnto them: wherfore haue ye not fulfilled youre tas•e in makinge brycke, both yesterdaye and to daye, as well as in tymes past.

Than went the officers of the children of Israel and complained unto Pharaoh saying: wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants? there is no straw given unto thy servants, and yet they say unto us: make brick. And lo, thy servants are beaten, and thy people is foul entreated. And he answered: idle are ye idle and therefore ye say: let us goo and do sacrifice unto the Lord. Goo therefore and work, for ⟨p. IX⟩there shall no straw be given you, and yet see that ye deliver the hole tale of brick.
