Exodus 1:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ The children of Israel increased, and sprung up into multitudes, and growing exceedingly strong they filled the land.

⁸ In the mean time there arose a new king over Egypt, that knew not Joseph:

⁹ And he said to his people: Behold the people of the children of Israel are numerous and stronger than we.
