Exodus 1:7-11 And the ⌊Israelites⌋* were fruitful and multiplied and were many and were very, very numerous, and the land was filled with them.

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ And the _⌊Israelites_⌋* were fruitful and multiplied and were many and were very, very numerous, and the land was filled with them. ⁸ And a new king rose over Egypt who did not know Joseph. ⁹ And he said to his people, "Look, the people of the _⌊Israelites_⌋* are greater and more numerous than us. ¹⁰ Come, we must deal shrewdly with them, lest they become many, and when war happens, they also will join our enemies and will fight against us and go up from the land." ¹¹ And they appointed commanders of forced labor over them in order to oppress them with their _⌊forced labor_⌋,* and they built storage cities for Pharaoh—Pithom and Rameses.
