Exodus 5:19-21

International Children’s Bible

¹⁹ The Israelite foremen knew they were in trouble. This was 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. Moses and Aaron were waiting for them. ²¹ So they said to Moses and Aaron, “May the Lord punish you. You caused the king and his officers to hate us. You have given them an excuse to kill us.”
