Exodus 1:7-11 And the children of Israel increased and multiplied, and became numerous and grew exceedingly strong, and the land multiplied them.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ And the children of Israel increased and multiplied, and became numerous and grew exceedingly strong, and the land multiplied them. ⁸ And there arose up another king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph. ⁹ And he said to his nation, Behold, the race of the children of Israel is a great multitude, and is stronger than we! ¹⁰ Come then, let us deal craftily with them, lest at any time they be increased, and whenever war shall happen to us, these also shall be added to our enemies, and having prevailed against us in war, they will depart out of the land. ¹¹ And he set over them taskmasters, who should afflict them in their works; and they built strong cities for Pharaoh, both Pithom, and Raamses, and On, which is Heliopolis.
