What is the meaning of "it is a sin for your people." ?
"Rav Shimon Schwab זצ"ל explains that the foremen were warning פרעה.
He was giving orders that were impossible to fulfill, thereby causing them to
transgress his command. Nonetheless, פרעה’s taskmasters beat
them for it. This being so, ה' will act מדה כנגד מדה and punish פרעה for something that will be impossible
for him to do. This ended up occurring when ה' took away פרעה’s free will and he had to transgress the
command to let the בני ישראל go.
Nonetheless, ה'
still punished him for transgressing."
