TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

Hardship in Following God

Sometimes people are urged to accept Christ because “he will solve your problems.” But Christ did not promise to solve all of people’s problems. In fact, he repeatedly warned people to consider what it would cost to follow him (see, e.g., Luke 14:28), and he pointed out the hardships that would come into their lives as a result of choosing to follow him (see, e.g., Mark 8:34).

Exodus 5 gives us a case study: Pharaoh’s earlier enslavement and persecution of the Hebrews was purely strategic. He worried that this growing sector of the population would cause trouble for him (Exod 1:8-22). In chapter 5, the situation is different. Moses and Aaron had rallied the people’s hopes that their God would soon rescue them (4:29-31). During their initial encounter with Pharaoh, Moses and Aaron confronted him with the reality of God’s sovereign rule (5:1-3). Not surprisingly, Pharaoh considered this an affront to his own sovereignty and reacted strongly against the Israelites (5:4-21).

When God’s Kingdom clashes with God’s enemies, there is often conflict and hardship for God’s people. We should not be surprised. Believers have changed allegiance from the realm of darkness to the realm of light (Col 1:11-14), and those who rule in the realm of darkness will certainly not let us leave their power without a fight. We must stand firm in our faith, knowing that God will secure the final victory on our behalf (Exod 6:1-8; see also Matt 5:11-12; John 16:33; Rom 16:20; Eph 6:10-18).

UTN uW Translation Notes:

נֹגְשֵׂ֥י

slave_drivers

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.
