Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁹ Then did the overseers of the sons of Israel see themselves to be in an evil case, when it was said,––Ye shall not diminish from your bricks––the task of a day, in its day! ²⁰ So they fell upon Moses and upon Aaron, stationing themselves to meet them,––as they came forth from Pharaoh; ²¹ and they said unto them, Yahweh look upon you, and judge,––in that ye have made us odious in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, putting a sword into their hand to slay us.
