taskmasters . Nogesim , literally , exactors , oppressors. These taskmasters were Egyptians . Exodus 1 . 11 , but the officers were Hebrews. Exodus 5 . 14. Exodus 5 . 10 , Exodus 5 . 13 , Exodus 5 . 15 , Exodus 5 . 19 , Exodus 1 . 11 , Proverbs 12 . 10
officers . Shoterim , from the Arabic saytara , to overlook , superintend , seems to denote , as musaytar in Arabic also does , o#### Verseers , superintendents. They may have been somewhat like the chiefs of trades , who are found in every city in the East; where every trade has a head , who is entrusted with authority over them , and is in some measure answerable for them to Government. Compare Exodus 2 . 14. Numbers 11 . 16 , Deuteronomy 1 . 15 , Deuteronomy 16 . 18 , Joshua 8 . 33 , Joshua 24 . 1 , Joshua 24 . 4 , 2 Chronicles 26 . 11

straw . The straw was mixed with clay , in order to make the bricks. This is expressly affirmed by Philo . vit. Mos. who was himself a native of Alexandria , in Egypt. He says , describing the oppression of the Israelites , that some were obliged to work in clay , and others to gather straw for the formation of bricks , נכיםטןץ דבס בקץסב הוףלןע , because straw is the binding of the brick. Philo's account is confirmed by Dr. Shaw , who says that "some of the Egyptian pyramids are made of brick , the composition whereof is only a mixture of clay , mud , and straw , slightly blended and kneaded together , and afterwards baked in the sun. The straw , which keeps the bricks together , and still preserves its original colour , seems to be a proof that these bricks were never burnt or made in kilns." The same materials are now used for building in Egypt. Mr. Baumgarten says , "The houses are for the most part of bricks that are only hardened by the heat of the sun , and mixed with straw to make them firm." Genesis 24 . 25 , Judges 19 . 19
