Exodus 1:6-11 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

6. And Yosĕph died, and all his brothers, and all that generation.

7. And the children of Yisra’ĕl bore fruit and increased very much, multiplied and became very strong, and the land was filled with them.

8. Then a new sovereign arose over Mitsrayim, who did not know Yosĕph,

9. and he said to his people, “See, the people of the children of Yisra’ĕl are more and stronger than we,

10. come, let us act wisely towards them, lest they increase, and it shall be when fighting befalls us, that they shall join our enemies and fight against us, and shall go up out of the land.”

11. So they set slave-masters over them to afflict them with their burdens, and they built for Pharaoh supply cities, Pithom and Ra‛amses.
