Quota for Brick-making
Back in Egypt, the Israelites were suffering under the heavy burden of slavery.
Exodus 5:18 recalls the command to deliver the quota for brickmaking.
In the picture is The Leather Scroll circa 1274 BCE from the fifth year of Ramesses II currently displayed in the Louvre. It speaks of one of the brickmakers who failed to deliver his quota: “Yupa, son of Urhiya, (quota of ) 2,000 bricks1,630 arrived, deficit 370”
