Psalms 81:6

I have removed his shoulder from the burden:

His hands shall go free from the basket.

The term -basket" does not occur in Exodus, but baskets for carrying the burdens of bricks or clay so often referred to in Exodus (Exodus 1:11; Exodus 2:11; Exodus 5:4-5; Exodus 6:6-7) are frequently represented in Egyptian paintings.

From the pots(A.V.), i.e. from making the pots(P.B.V.), is an improbable explanation.

The P.B.V. in Psalms 81:5, "when he came out of the land of Egypt and had heard a strange language," is derived through the Vulg. from the LXX. Similarly Jerome; but it is probably only a conjectural rendering of a difficult passage, and does not represent a different text.
