Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 18. - There the prisoners rest together. "There those who in life were prisoners, condemned to work at enforced labours, enjoy sweet rest together." They hear not the voice of the oppressor; rather, of the taskmaster (comp. Exodus 3:7; Exodus 5:6, where the same word is used). The task. master continually urged on the wearied labourers with such words as those of Exodus 5:13, "Fulfil your works, fulfil your daily tasks. In the grave these hated sounds would not be heard.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(18) The oppressor.--As this is the word rendered taskmaster in Exodus, some have thought there may be an allusion to that history here.
