translationNotes

  • all the land of Egypt - This is not to be understood literally. AT: "throughout a wide area" (See: :en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_hyperbole)
  • taskmasters - “slave drivers” or “masters.” These were Egyptians whose job was to force the Israelites to do hard work.
  • stubble - "the part of a plant that is left over after harvest"
  • Why have you not produced all the bricks required of you - Using a question here shows that the taskmasters were angry and harsh. (See: :en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_rquestion)
