ASV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

7 H1121 And the children H3478 of Israel H6509 were fruitful, H8317 and increased abundantly, H7235 and multiplied, H3966 and waxed exceeding H6105 mighty; H776 and the land H4390 was filled with them.

8 H6965 Now there arose H2319 a new H4428 king H4714 over Egypt, H3045 who knew H3130 not Joseph.

9 H559 And he said H5971 unto his people, H5971 Behold, the people H1121 of the children H3478 of Israel H7227 are more H6099 and mightier than we:

10 H3051 come, H2449 let us deal wisely H7235 with them, lest they multiply, H7122 and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out H4421 any war, H1931 they H3254 also join H8130 themselves unto our enemies, H3898 and fight H5927 against us, and get them up H776 out of the land.

11 H7760 Therefore they did set H4522 over them taskmasters H6031 to afflict H5450 them with their burdens. H1129 And they built H6547 for Pharaoh H4543 store-cities, H6619 Pithom H7486 and Raamses.

12 H6031 But the more they afflicted H3651 them, the more H7235 they multiplied H6555 and the more they spread abroad. H6973 And they were grieved H6440 because H1121 of the children H3478 of Israel.
