The taskmasters kept pressing them, saying, "Fulfill your quota each day, just as you did when straw was provided."

Exodus 1:11
So the Egyptians appointed taskmasters over the Israelites to oppress them with forced labor. As a result, they built Pithom and Rameses as store cities for Pharaoh.

Exodus 5:6
That same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people and their foremen:

Exodus 5:12
So the people scattered all over the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.

Exodus 5:14
Then the Israelite foremen, whom Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over the people, were beaten and asked, "Why have you not fulfilled your quota of bricks yesterday or today, as you did before?"

And the taskmasters hurried them, saying, Fulfill your works, your daily tasks, as when there was straw.
