Exodus 1:8-11
8Then a newH2319 kingH4428, whoH834 did notH3808 knowH3045 JosephH3130, came to powerH6965 inH5921 EgyptH4714. 9“LookH2009,” he saidH559 toH413 his peopleH5971, “the IsraelitesH1121H3478H5971 have become too numerousH7227 and too powerfulH6099 for usH4480. 10ComeH3051, let us deal shrewdlyH2449 with them, orH6435 they will increase even moreH7235; and ifH1961H3588 a warH4421 breaks outH7122, theyH1931H5921 may joinH3254H1571 our enemiesH8130, fightH3898 against us, and leaveH5927H4480 the countryH776.1”
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.
