MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ And the sons of Israel were fruitful, and increased very much, and multiplied, and became exceedingly mighty. And the land was filled with them. ⁸ And there arose a new king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph. ⁹ And he said to his people, Behold, the people of the sons of Israel are many and mightier than we. ¹⁰ Come, let us deal slyly with them, lest they multiply, and it will be when there comes a war, they join also to our enemies, and fight against us, and get out of the land. ¹¹ And they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with their burdens. And they built treasure cities for Pharaoh, Pithon and Raamses.
