1:11 So they put foremen 9 over the Israelites 10 to oppress 11 them with hard labor. As a result 12 they built Pithom and Rameses 13 as store cities for Pharaoh. 1:12 But the more the Egyptians 14 oppressed them, the more they multiplied and spread. 15 As a result the Egyptians loathed 16 the Israelites, 1:13 and they 17 made the Israelites serve rigorously. 18 1:14 They made their lives bitter 19 by 20 hard service with mortar and bricks and by all kinds of service 21 in the fields. Every kind of service the Israelites were required to give was rigorous. 22
