Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 7. - I have surely seen. Literally "Seeing I have seen" - an expression implying continuance. On the force of the anthropomorphic terms "seeing, hearing, knowing," as used of God, see the comment on Exodus 2:24-25. Taskmasters. Not the general superintendents of Exodus 1:11, but subordinate officials, who stood over the labourers and applied the rod to their backs. (See above, Exodus 2:11.)

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(7) The Lord said.--Heb., Jehovah said. The "God" of Exodus 3:6 is "Jehovah" here, and again "God" in Exodus 3:11. (See the Note on Exodus 3:4.)I have surely seen.--Heb., seeing I have seen. It is not so much certainty as continued looking that is implied. (Comp. Exodus 2:25.)Taskmasters.--A different word from that similarly translated in Exodus 1:11, and one that implies cruel usage. It is sometimes rendered "oppressors" (Zechariah 9:8). . . .
