Exodus 1:7-11 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceedingly mighty; and the land was filled with them.

TKJU⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceedingly mighty; and the land was filled with them. ⁸ Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which did not know Joseph. ⁹ And he said to his people, "Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we: ¹⁰ Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that when there falls out any war, they also join to our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land." ¹¹ Therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.
