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 5:13
each day <01697 03117> [daily tasks. Heb. a matter of a day in his day.]
Exodus 5:15
Exodus 9:5

Exodus 13:8
Exodus 17:4
cried out <06817> [cried.]
