Exodus 5:18-20

New Century Version

¹⁸ Now, go back to work! We will not give you any straw, but you must make just as many bricks as you did before.”

¹⁹ The Israelite foremen knew they were in trouble, because the king had told them, “You must make just as many bricks each day as you did before.” ²⁰ As they were leaving the meeting with the king, they met Moses and Aaron, who were waiting for them.
