וַיְצַ֥ו פַּרְעֹ֖ה & אֶת־הַנֹּגְשִׂ֣ים בָּעָ֔ם וְאֶת־שֹׁטְרָ֖יו לֵאמֹֽר
and=he/it_commanded Farˊoh & DOM the,taskmasters in/on/at/with,people and=DOM foremen,their to=say
Pharaoh may have sent a messenger or messengers to the taskmasters and officers or spoken to one or a few representatives of them at his court rather than speaking to them directly. Alternative translation: “And … Pharaoh gave an order to the taskmasters among the people and officers. He said,”
הַנֹּגְשִׂ֣ים
the,taskmasters
Taskmasters were Egyptians whose job it was to force the Israelites to do hard work. These are probably the same as the “overseers” of labor gangs from Exodus 1:11, but here the term is harsher. Alternative translation: “oppressors”
שֹׁטְרָ֖יו
foremen,their
Officers were probably Israelite slaves who were in charge of the other Israelites but who answered to the Egyptian taskmasters.
לֵאמֹֽר
to=say
Here, saying is a way of introducing a direct quotation in Hebrew; most translations can omit it without harm.
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.
