'Quota' in the Bible
But you're to impose the previous quota of bricks that they're making. You're not to reduce it! It is because they're lazy that they're crying out, "Let's go offer sacrifices to our God.'
The taskmasters pressured them by saying, "Finish your work each day's quota just as when you were given straw."
The Israeli supervisors whom Pharaoh's taskmasters had appointed over them were beaten and told, "Why didn't you, both yesterday and today, fulfill your quota for making bricks as before?"
The Israeli supervisors realized they were in trouble when he said, "You won't reduce each day's quota of bricks!"
The olive oil quota is to be based on the bath, measured at ten baths to each omer, which is equal to one kor.
The sheep quota is to be one from each flock of 200 taken from the pastures of Israel. From all of these you are to present grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings, to make atonement for them," declares the Lord GOD.
