Taskmasters are Egyptians whose job it was to force the Israelites to do hard work. See how you translated this in Exodus 5:6.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
וַיֻּכּ֗וּ שֹֽׁטְרֵי֙ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל
and,beaten foremen sons_of Yisrael
The text does not specify who beat the officers. It was probably either the taskmasters or someone the taskmasters ordered to beat the officers. If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “And the taskmasters beat the officers of the sons of Israel”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
מַדּ֡וּעַ לֹא֩ כִלִּיתֶ֨ם חָקְכֶ֤ם לִלְבֹּן֙ כִּתְמ֣וֹל שִׁלְשֹׁ֔ם גַּם־תְּמ֖וֹל גַּם־הַיּֽוֹם
why not completed required,your_all's of,bricks as,yesterday before also/yet yesterday also/yet the=day
The taskmasters used this question to show they were angry with the lack of bricks. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “You are not producing enough bricks, either yesterday or today, as you did in the past!”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / youdual
כִלִּיתֶ֨ם חָקְכֶ֤ם
completed required,your_all's
Here, you and your are plural. If your language uses different forms of “you” depending on the number of people addressed, use a plural form here.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
לֹא֩ כִלִּיתֶ֨ם חָקְכֶ֤ם
not completed required,your_all's
Here, you and your do not simply refer to the officers; they refer to the groups of Israelite workers the officers are in charge of. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “have your teams not finished their required”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
כִּתְמ֣וֹל שִׁלְשֹׁ֔ם
as,yesterday before
This is a Hebrew idiom meaning “in the past.” Here it specifically refers to the time before the Egyptians stopped giving the Israelites straw. See how you translated this in 5:7 Alternative translation: “before” or “previously”
גַּם־תְּמ֖וֹל גַּם־הַיּֽוֹם
also/yet yesterday also/yet the=day
This time expression refers to more recent days, ones since the Egyptians stopped providing the straw to the Israelites.
5:1-14 Pharaoh not only rejected Moses’ request to release the Hebrew slaves, he also retaliated by making their work harder. The arrival of the rescuer had actually made the situation worse.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
