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

And they met Moses and Aaron,.... The officers of the children of Israel, who had been with their complaints to Pharaoh:

who stood in the way as they came forth from Pharaoh; they, had placed themselves in a proper situation, that they might meet them when they came out, and know what success they had, and which they were extremely desirous of hearing; by which they might judge in what temper Pharaoh was, and what they might for the future expect from him in consequence of their embassy.
