The Israelite foremen realized they were in trouble when they were told, "You must not reduce your daily quota of bricks." Context 19The foremen of the sons of Israel saw that they were in trouble because they were told, “You must not reduce your daily amount of bricks.” 20When they left Pharaoh’s presence, they met Moses and Aaron as they were waiting for them. 21They said to them, “May the LORD look upon you and judge you, for you have made us odious in Pharaoh’s sight and in the sight of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to kill us.” 22Then Moses returned to the LORD and said, “O Lord, why have You brought harm to this people? Why did You ever send me? 23“Ever since I came to Pharaoh to speak in Your name, he has done harm to this people, and You have not delivered Your people at all.” Links Exodus 5:19 NIVExodus 5:19 NLT Exodus 5:19 ESV Exodus 5:19 NASB Exodus 5:19 KJV Exodus 5:19 Commentaries Bible Hub |
