Exodus 1:8-14
8Now a newH2319 1kingH4428 aroseH6965 overH5921 EgyptH4714, whoH834 did not knowH3045 JosephH3130. 92He saidH559 to his peopleH5971, “BeholdH2009, the peopleH5971 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 are 3moreH7227 and mightierH6099 thanH4480 we. 10ComeH3051, let us 4dealH2449 wiselyH2449 with them, orH6435 elseH6435 they will multiplyH7235 and 5in the eventH1961H3588H7122 of warH4421, they will alsoH1571 joinH3254 themselves to those whoH834 hateH8130 us, and fightH3898 against us and 6departH5927 from the landH776.” 11So they appointedH7760 7taskmastersH8269H4522 overH5921 them to afflictH6031 them with 89hardH5450 laborH5450. And they builtH1129 for PharaohH6547 10storageH4543 citiesH5892, PithomH6619 and 11RaamsesH7486. 12But the moreH3512 they afflictedH6031 them, 12the moreH3651 they multipliedH7235 and the moreH3651 they 13spreadH6555 out, so that they were in dreadH6973 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478. 13The EgyptiansH4714 compelled the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 14to laborH5647 rigorouslyH6531; 14and they madeH4843 15their livesH2425 bitterH4843 with hardH7186 laborH5656 in mortarH2563 and bricksH3843 and at allH3605 kinds of laborH5656 in the fieldH7704, allH3605 their laborsH5656 whichH834 they rigorouslyH6531 16imposedH5647 on them.
