Exo_1:11 Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.

Ver. 11. To afflict them.] Because they would not "serve God with gladness of heart." {Deu_28:47-48} For now they began to go awhoring after the idols of Egypt. {Eze_23:8; Eze_20:5; Eze_20:7-8}

And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities.] They built also those famous pyramids, as some think, {a} of which it is reported, that for the great height of them, a man cannot shoot an arrow so high as the midst of the lower tower, whereon the spire stands. {b}

{a} Bucholcer.

{b} Turk. Hist., fol. 544.
