Thematic Bible: Brick-maker


Thematic Bible



And they said, one to another, "Come on, let us make brick and burn it with fire." So brick was their stone and slime was their mortar.

"See that ye give the people no more straw to make brick withal, as ye did in time past: let them go and gather them straw themselves. And the number of bricks which they were wont to make in time past, lay unto their charge also, and minish nothing thereof. For they be idle and therefore cry, saying, 'Let us go and do sacrifice unto our God.'

Go therefore and work, for there shall no straw be given you, and yet see that ye deliver the whole tale of brick."
