11So the Egyptians appointedH7760 taskmastersH8269H4522 overH5921 the Israelites toH4616 oppress themH6031 with forced laborH5450. As a result, they builtH1129 PithomH6619 and RamesesH7486 as storeH4543 citiesH5892 for PharaohH6547. 12But the more they were oppressedH6031, the more they multipliedH7235H3651 and flourishedH6555; so the Egyptians came to dreadH6973H6440 the IsraelitesH1121H3478.

13They workedH5647H4713 the IsraelitesH1121H3478 ruthlesslyH6531 14and made their livesH2416 bitterH4843 with hardH7186 laborH5656 in brickH3843 and mortarH2563, and with all kindsH3605 of workH5656 in the fieldsH7704. EveryH3605 serviceH5656 they imposedH5647 was harshH6531.
