Contextual Overview

³ Then Aaron and Moses said, "The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Now let us travel three days into the desert to offer sacrifices to the Lord our God. If we don't do this, he may kill us with a disease or in war." ⁴ But the king said to them, "Moses and Aaron, why are you taking the people away from their work? Go back to your jobs! ⁵ There are very many Hebrews, and now you want them to quit working!" ⁶ That same day the king gave a command to the slave masters and foremen. ⁷ He said, "Don't give the people straw to make bricks as you used to do. Let them gather their own straw. ⁸ But they must still make the same number of bricks as they did before. Do not accept fewer. They have become lazy, and that is why they are asking me, ‘Let us go to offer sacrifices to our God.' ⁹ Make these people work harder and keep them busy; then they will not have time to listen to the lies of Moses."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Let there more work be laid upon the men,.... Instead of lessening it, let it be increased, or "be heavy" k upon them, that it may oppress and afflict them and keep them down, and weaken their strength and their spirits, and diminish them:

that they may labour therein; and have no leisure time to spend in idleness and sloth:

and let them not regard vain words; or "words of falsehood" l and lies, such as were spoken by Moses and Aaron, promising them liberty and deliverance from their bondage, which he was determined never to grant, and so eventually make such words to appear to be vain and empty, falsehood and lies.
