Contextual Overview

¹⁵ Then the Israelite foremen went to the king and complained, "Why are you treating us, your servants, this way? ¹⁶ You give us no straw, but we are commanded to make bricks. Our slave masters beat us, but it is your own people's fault." ¹⁷ The king answered, "You are lazy! You don't want to work! That is why you ask to leave here and make sacrifices to the Lord . 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. 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." ²² Then Moses returned to the Lord and said, "Lord, why have you brought this trouble on your people? Is this why you sent me here? ²³ I went to the king and said what you told me to say, but ever since that time he has made the people suffer. And you have done nothing to save them."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh,.... Made their complaints to him, perhaps with tears in their eyes, being used so very ill. They little thought it was by Pharaoh's orders; they supposed he knew nothing of it, and therefore hoped to have their grievances redressed by him, but were mistaken:

saying, wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants? so they call themselves, they living in his country, and being under his jurisdiction, though not properly his subjects; however, he had made them his slaves, and so indeed even bondservants.
