וַיֹּ֛אמֶר נִרְפִּ֥ים אַתֶּ֖ם נִרְפִּ֑ים עַל־כֵּן֙ אַתֶּ֣ם אֹֽמְרִ֔ים נֵלְכָ֖ה נִזְבְּחָ֥ה לַֽיהוָֽה׃
But he said: ‘Ye are idle, ye are idle; therefore ye say: Let us go and sacrifice to the LORD.
Shemirat HaLashon
And in the holy Zohar on Shemoth 5:17: "'You are lax, lax' — You are lax in Torah; therefore, (bid. 9): 'Let the work be heavier upon the men' — with taxes and assessments."
