SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:14
Y azotaban a los gobernadores de los hijos de Israel, que los cuadrilleros del Faraón habían puesto sobre ellos, diciendo: ¿Por qué no habéis cumplido vuestra tarea de ladrillo ni ayer ni hoy, como antes?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Exodus 5:14
Verse 14. And the officers-were beaten] Probably bastinadoed; for this is the common punishment in Egypt to the present day for minor offenses. The manner of it is this: the culprit lies on his belly, his legs being turned up behind erect, and the executioner gives him so many blows on the soles of the feet with a stick. This is a very severe punishment, the sufferer not being able to walk for many weeks after, and some are lamed by it through the whole of their lives.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-23 - The Egyptian task-masters were very severe. See what need we have to pray that we may be delivered from wicked men. The head-workmen justl complained to Pharaoh: but he taunted them. The malice of Satan ha often represented the service and worship of God, as fit employmen only for those who have nothing else to do, and the business only of the idle; whereas, it is the duty of those who are most busy in the world. Those who are diligent in doing sacrifice to the Lord, will before God, escape the doom of the slothful servant, though with me they do not. The Israelites should have humbled themselves before God and have taken to themselves the shame of their sin; but instead of that, they quarrel with those who were to be their deliverers. Mose returned to the Lord. He knew that what he had said and done, was by God's direction; and therefore appeals to him. When we find ourselve at any time perplexed in the way of our duty, we ought to go to God and lay open our case before him by fervent prayer. Disappointments in our work must not drive us from our God, but still we must ponder wh they are sent __________________________________________________________________
