Exodus 5:6
masters <05065> [taskmasters.]
{Nogesim,} literally, exactors, oppressors. These taskmasters were Egyptians, (ch. 1:11,) but the officers were Hebrews. See ver. 14.
foremen <07860> [officers.]
{Shoterim,} from the Arabic {saytara,} to overlook, superintend, seems to denote, as {musaytar} in Arabic also does, overseers, superintendents. They may have been somewhat like the chiefs of trades, who are found in every city in the East; where every trade has a head, who is entrusted with authority over them, and is in some measure answerable for them to Government. Compare ch. 2:14.
Exodus 10:22
absolute darkness <02822 0653> [thick darkness.]
Exodus 12:8
eat ... meat ....... eat <0398 01320> [eat the.]
roasted <06748> [roast.]
bread made without yeast <04682> [unleavened.]
bitter herbs <04844> [with bitter.]
