8 And a new king will arise over Egypt, who will not know Joseph. 9 And he will say to his people, Behold, the people of the sons of Israel, many, being strong above us. 10 Come, we will be wise with them, lest they shall multiply, and it was when war shall happen, and also being added to our armies and fighting against us, and they went up from the land. 11 And they will set over them leaders of the tributes in order to afflict them in their burdens. And they will build cities of stores for Pharaoh, Pithom and Raamses. 12 And as they will afflict them, so they will multiply and will increase. And they will feel disgust from the face of the sons of Israel. 13 And the Egyptians will make the sons of Israel serve by oppression. 14 And they will embitter their lives by hard work in clay, and in bricks, and in all work in the field: all their work in which they made them serve by oppression.
