8Now a newH2319 1kingH4428 aroseH6965 overH5921 EgyptH4714, whoH834 did not knowH3045 JosephH3130. 9And 2he saidH559 to his peopleH5971, “BeholdH2009, the peopleH5971 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 are 3tooH4480 manyH7227 and too mightyH6099 for us. 10ComeH3051, let us 4dealH2449 5shrewdlyH2449 with them, otherwiseH6435 they will multiplyH7235, and 6in the eventH1961H3588H7122 of warH4421, they will alsoH1571 joinH3254 those whoH834 hateH8130 us, and fightH3898 against us and 7departH5927 from the landH776.” 11So they appointedH7760 8taskmastersH8269H4522 overH5921 them to oppressH6031 them with 910hardH5450 laborH5450. And they builtH1129 for PharaohH6547 11storageH4543 citiesH5892, PithomH6619 and 12RaamsesH7486. 12But the moreH3512 they oppressedH6031 them, 13the moreH3651 they multipliedH7235 and the moreH3651 they 14spreadH6555 outH6555, so that they dreadedH6973 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478. 13The EgyptiansH4714 15used violenceH6531 to compel the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 16to laborH5647; 14and they madeH4843 17their 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.
