We read that [[Pharaoh]] set taskmasters or overseers, over the children of Israel, who "made their lives bitter with hard bondage" ( Exodus 1:14), a statement fully confirmed by the monuments, where the taskmasters are uniformly represented armed with cudgels. (See [[Bastinado]]). In the margins of many of the Psalms, the [[Hebrew]] word '''''מְנָצֵּח''''' is properly rendered ''Overseer,'' meaning probably the ''Chief Musician,'' as the text has it. (See Gesenius, ''Thesaur.'' s.v.) (See [[Chief Musician]]). </p> | ||
