Exodus 1:8-14
8Now there arose upH6965 a newH2319 kingH4428 over EgyptH4714, which knewH3045 not JosephH3130.
9And he saidH559 unto his peopleH5971, Behold, the peopleH5971 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 are moreH7227 and mightierH6099 than we:
10Come onH3051, let us deal wiselyH2449 with them; lest they multiplyH7235, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth outH7122 any warH4421, theyH1931 joinH3254 also unto our enemiesH8130, and fightH3898 against us, and so get them upH5927 out of the landH776.
11Therefore they did setH7760 over them taskmastersH8269H4522 to afflictH6031 them with their burdensH5450. And they builtH1129 for PharaohH6547 treasureH4543 citiesH5892, PithomH6619 and RaamsesH7486.
12But the more they afflictedH6031 them, the moreH3651 they multipliedH7235 and grewH6555. And they were grievedH6973 becauseH6440 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.1
13And the EgyptiansH4714 madeH5647 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 to serveH5647 with rigourH6531:
14And they madeH4843 their livesH2416 bitterH4843 with hardH7186 bondageH5656, in morterH2563, and in brickH3843, and in all manner of serviceH5656 in the fieldH7704: all their serviceH5656, wherein they made them serveH5647, was with rigourH6531.
