'Straw' in the Bible

"You must no longer give straw to the people to make the bricks like {before}. Let them go and gather straw for themselves.

And the slave drivers of the people and their foremen went out, and they spoke to the people, saying, "Thus says Pharaoh, 'I [am] not giving you straw.

You go, get straw for yourselves from whatever you find because not a thing is being reduced from your work.'"

And the people spread out in all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for the straw.

And the slave drivers [were] insisting, saying, "Finish your work {for each day} on its day, as {when there was straw}."

Straw [is] not being given to your servants, but [they are] saying to us, 'Make bricks!' and, look, your servants [are] being beaten, but it is the fault of your people."

And now go, work, but straw will not be given to you, and you must give the full quota of bricks."
