Exodus 5:8

But the number of bricks that they made in the past you shall impose on them, you shall by no means reduce it, for they are idle . Therefore they cry , Let us go and offer sacrifice to our God .

But require them to make the same number of bricks as before; don`t reduce the quota. They are lazy; that is why they are crying out, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to our God.`

And the tale of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish ought thereof: for they be idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.
