'Straw' in the Bible

Ye do not add to give straw to the people for the making of the bricks, as heretofore -- they go and have gathered straw for themselves;

And the exactors of the people, and its authorities, go out, and speak unto the people, saying, 'Thus said Pharaoh, I do not give you straw,

ye -- go ye, take for yourselves straw where ye find it, for there is nothing of your service diminished.'

And the people is scattered over all the land of Egypt, to gather stubble for straw,

and the exactors are making haste, saying, 'Complete your works, the matter of a day in its day, as when there is straw.'

Straw is not given to thy servants, and they are saying to us, Make bricks, and lo, thy servants are smitten -- and thy people hath sinned.'

and now, go, serve; and straw is not given to you, and the measure of bricks ye do give.'
