Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(14) The officers . . . were beaten.--This is the usual practice in the East. When any requisition is made on a town or a village, or any body of persons, the procuring of it is left to the "head men," who are alone responsible to the Government, and are punished in case they fail to exact the full amount.And demanded.--Rather, and asked, or (as Kalisch renders it) "with the words."Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewThen the Israeliteבְּנֵ֣י (bə·nê)Noun - masculine plural constructStrong's 1121: A sonforemen,שֹֽׁטְרֵי֙ (šō·ṭə·rê)Noun - masculine plural constructStrong's 7860: A scribe, an official superintendent, magistratewhomאֲשֶׁר־ (’ă·šer-)Pronoun - relativeStrong's 834: Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order thatPharaoh’sפַרְעֹ֖ה (p̄ar·‘ōh)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 6547: Pharaoh -- a title of Egypt kingstaskmastersנֹגְשֵׂ֥י (nō·ḡə·śê)Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine plural constructStrong's 5065: To drive, to tax, harass, tyrannizehad setשָׂ֣מוּ (śā·mū)Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person common pluralStrong's 7760: Put -- to put, place, setover the people,עֲלֵהֶ֔ם (‘ă·lê·hem)Preposition | third person masculine pluralStrong's 5921: Above, over, upon, againstwere beatenוַיֻּכּ֗וּ (way·yuk·kū)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hofal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine pluralStrong's 5221: To strikeand asked,לֵאמֹ֑ר (lê·mōr)Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive constructStrong's 559: To utter, say“Whyמַדּ֡וּעַ (mad·dū·a‘)InterrogativeStrong's 4069: Why? for what reason?have you notלֹא֩ (lō)Adverb - Negative particleStrong's 3808: Not, nofulfilledכִלִּיתֶ֨ם (ḵil·lî·ṯem)Verb - Piel - Perfect - second person masculine pluralStrong's 3615: To be complete, at an end, finished, accomplished, or spentyour quotaחָקְכֶ֤ם (ḥā·qə·ḵem)Noun - masculine singular construct | second person masculine pluralStrong's 2706: Something prescribed or owed, a statuteof bricksלִלְבֹּן֙ (lil·bōn)Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive constructStrong's 3835: To be, white, to make bricksyesterdayכִּתְמ֣וֹל (kiṯ·mō·wl)Preposition-k | AdverbStrong's 8543: Ago, a, time since, yesterday, day before yesterdayor today,גַּם־ (gam-)ConjunctionStrong's 1571: Assemblage, also, even, yea, though, both, andas you did before?”תְּמ֖וֹל (tə·mō·wl)AdverbStrong's 8543: Ago, a, time since, yesterday, day before yesterdayJump to PreviousAmount Appointed Beaten Brick Children Completed Demanded Either Fulfilled Heretofore Hitherto Israel Making Moreover Officers Pharaoh's Previously Quota Required Task Taskmasters Task-Masters Today Wherefore Yesterday
