Rather is was a form of sweat equity to pay their taxes. The workers were assembled in gangs with names which they wrote on some of the blocks. It even appears that there were productivity competitions between the gangs. I suggest you use historical research beyond reading the Book of Exodus and watching Cecil B De Mille movies to un
