וְהַנֹּגְשִׂ֖ים אָצִ֣ים לֵאמֹ֑ר כַּלּ֤וּ מַעֲשֵׂיכֶם֙ דְּבַר־י֣וֹם בְּיוֹמ֔וֹ כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר בִּהְי֥וֹת הַתֶּֽבֶן׃
And the taskmasters were urgent, saying: ‘Fulfil your work, your daily task, as when there was straw.’
Rashbam on Exodus
אצים, urging forcefully. We have the same verb when the angels urge Lot to leave Sodom in Genesis 19,15. ויאיצו המלאכים.
