Exodus 5:7-12 You shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.… Writing on the treatment of his brother, General A. S. Johnston, Mr. W. P. Johnston says: "His command was imperial in extent, and his powers and discretion as large as the theory of the Confederate Government permitted. He lacked nothing except men, munitions of war, and the means of obtaining them! He had the right to ask for anything, and the State executives had the power to withhold everything." (H. O. Mackey.) Parallel Verses KJV: Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves. |
