So the same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters over the people and their foremen, saying,
Exo 5:7
&
"You are no longer to give the people straw to make brick as previously; let them go and gather straw for themselves.
Exo 5:8

~"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.'
