Exodus 1:8-14

8NowH4714 there aroseH6965 a newH2319 kingH4428 over EgyptH4714, whichH834 knewH3045 notH3808 JosephH3130.

9And he saidH559 unto his peopleH5971, BeholdH2009, the peopleH5971 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 are moreH4480 and mightierH6099 thanH4480 we:

10comeH1961, letH1961 usH5921 dealH7235 wiselyH2449 with them; lestH6435 they multiplyH7235, and it comeH1961 to passH1961, that, when there falleth outH4480 anyH4480 warH4421, they also joinH3254 themselvesH5921 unto our enemiesH8130, and fightH3898 againstH5921 usH5921, and getH5927 them upH5927 outH4480 of the landH776.

11Therefore they did setH7760 over them taskmasters to afflictH6031 them with their burdensH5450. And they builtH1129 for PharaohH6547 storeH4543 citiesH5892, PithomH6619 and RaamsesH7486.

12But the moreH3651 they afflictedH1121 them, the moreH3651 they multipliedH7235 and the moreH3651 they spreadH6555 abroadH6555. And they were grieved becauseH834 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.

13And the EgyptiansH4713 madeH5647 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 to serveH5647 with rigour:

14and they madeH4843 their livesH2416 bitterH4843 with hardH7186 serviceH5656, in mortar and in brickH3843, and in allH3605 manner of serviceH5656 in the fieldH7704, allH3605 their serviceH5656, whereinH834 they madeH4843 them serveH5647 with rigour.
