 - taskmasters.
  {Nogesim,} literally, exactors, oppressors.  These
  taskmasters were Egyptians, (ch. 11 1:11,) but the officers were
  Hebrews.  See ver. 14.

   * :10,13,15,19; 1:11 Pr 12:10
- 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. 14 2:14.

   * Nu 11:16 De 1:15; 16:18 Jos 8:33; 24:1,4 2Ch 26:11


VERSE 7 
 - straw.
  The straw was mixed with clay, in order to make the bricks.
  This is expressly affirmed by Philo, (vit. Mos.) who was
  himself a native of Alexandria, in Egypt.  He says,
  describing the oppression of the Israelites, that some were
  obliged to work in clay, and others to gather straw for the
  formation of bricks, [                                  ,]
  because straw is the binding of the brick.  Philo's account
  is confirmed by Dr. Shaw, who says that "some of the Egyptian
  pyramids are made of brick, the composition whereof is only a
  mixture of clay, mud, and straw, slightly blended and kneaded
  together, and afterwards baked in the sun.  The straw, which
  keeps the bricks together, and still preserves its original
  color, seems to be a proof that these bricks were never
  burnt or made in kilns."  The same materials are now used for
  building in Egypt.  Mr. Baumgarten says, "The houses are for
  the most part of bricks that are only hardened by the heat of
  the sun, and mixed with straw to make them firm."
