Exodus 1:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are greater, and mightier than we.
10 Come, let us work wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that if there be war, they join themselves also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and [a][b]get them out of the land.
11 Therefore did they set taskmasters over them, to keep them under with burdens: and they built the cities Pithom and Raamses for the [c]treasures of Pharaoh.
