Exodus 5:19

19 The Israelite supervisors saw how impossible their situation was when they were commanded, "Don't reduce your daily quota of bricks."

Exodus 5:19 In-Context

17 Pharaoh replied, "You are lazy bums, nothing but lazy bums. That's why you say, ‘Let us go and offer sacrifices to the LORD.'
18 Go and get back to work! No straw will be given to you, but you still need to make the same number of bricks."
19 The Israelite supervisors saw how impossible their situation was when they were commanded, "Don't reduce your daily quota of bricks."
20 When they left Pharaoh, they met Moses and Aaron, who were waiting for them.
21 The supervisors said to them, "Let the LORD see and judge what you've done! You've made us stink in the opinion of Pharaoh and his servants. You've given them a reason to kill us."
