Judith 5:9-11

Common English Bible

⁹ Then their God commanded them to leave there and go to the land of Canaan. They settled there and became very rich in gold, silver, and cattle. ¹⁰ But when a famine spread through the land of Canaan, they went down to live as strangers in Egypt, where there was food. While they were there, their numbers increased so that they couldn’t be counted. ¹¹ Then the king of Egypt turned against them and took advantage of them, enslaving them and forcing them to make bricks.
