'Foremen' in the Bible

That day Pharaoh commanded the overseers of the people as well as their foremen:

So the overseers and foremen of the people went out and said to them, “This is what Pharaoh says: ‘I am not giving you straw.

Then the Israelite foremen, whom Pharaoh’s slave drivers had set over the people, were beaten and asked, “Why haven’t you finished making your prescribed number of bricks yesterday or today, as you did before?”

So the Israelite foremen went in and cried for help to Pharaoh: “Why are you treating your servants this way?

The Israelite foremen saw that they were in trouble when they were told, “You cannot reduce your daily quota of bricks.”
