Exodus 1:1-14

1Now theseH428 are the 1namesH8034 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 who cameH935 to EgyptH4714 with JacobH3290; they cameH935, eachH376 oneH376 2with his householdH1004: 2ReubenH7205, SimeonH8095, LeviH3878, and JudahH3063; 3IssacharH3485, ZebulunH2074, and BenjaminH1144; 4DanH1835 and NaphtaliH5321, GadH1410 and AsherH836. 5 3AllH3605 the peopleH5315 who descendedH3318 H3409 from JacobH3290 were 4seventyH7657 5peopleH5315, but JosephH3130 was already in EgyptH4714. 6And 6JosephH3130 diedH4191, and allH3605 his brothersH251 and allH3605 that generationH1755. 7But the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 7wereH6509 fruitfulH6509 and 8increasedH8317 greatlyH8317, and multipliedH7235, and becameH6105 exceedinglyH3966 9mightyH6105, so that the landH776 was filledH4390 with them.

8Now a newH2319 10kingH4428 aroseH6965 overH5921 EgyptH4714, whoH834 did not knowH3045 JosephH3130. 9And 11he saidH559 to his peopleH5971, “BeholdH2009, the peopleH5971 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 are 12tooH4480 manyH7227 and too mightyH6099 for us. 10ComeH3051, let us 13dealH2449 14shrewdlyH2449 with them, otherwiseH6435 they will multiplyH7235, and 15in the eventH1961 H3588 H7122 of warH4421, they will alsoH1571 joinH3254 those whoH834 hateH8130 us, and fightH3898 against us and 16departH5927 from the landH776.” 11So they appointedH7760 17taskmastersH8269 H4522 overH5921 them to oppressH6031 them with 18 19hardH5450 laborH5450. And they builtH1129 for PharaohH6547 20storageH4543 citiesH5892, PithomH6619 and 21RaamsesH7486. 12But the moreH3512 they oppressedH6031 them, 22the moreH3651 they multipliedH7235 and the moreH3651 they 23spreadH6555 outH6555, so that they dreadedH6973 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478. 13The EgyptiansH4714 24used violenceH6531 to compel the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 25to laborH5647; 14and they madeH4843 26their livesH2425 bitterH4843 with hardH7186 laborH5656 in mortarH2563 and bricksH3843 and at allH3605 kinds of laborH5656 in the fieldH7704, allH3605 their laborsH5656 whichH834 they violentlyH6531 had them performH5647 asH5647 slavesH5647.
