📚 Historical Context
In the Book of Exodus, the Israelites were enslaved in Egypt, and God had sent Moses to demand their freedom from Pharaoh. When Moses and Aaron approached Pharaoh, he not only refused their request but also increased the burdens on the Israelites by making them gather their own straw for brick-making while maintaining the same quotas. As Moses and Aaron were leaving Pharaoh's presence, they met the Israelite foremen who were frustrated and coming to confront them about the harsher conditions.
