Exodus 1:11-14 ▼

11 And they set princes of tribute over it, so as to afflict it with their burdens, and it builds the store-cities of Pithom and Rameses for Pharaoh;

12 and as they afflict it, so it multiplies, and so it breaks forth, and they are distressed because of the sons of Israel;

13 and the Egyptians cause the sons of Israel to serve with rigor,

14 and make their lives bitter in hard service, in clay, and in brick, and in every [kind] of service in the field; all their service in which they have served [is] with rigor.
