Exodus 1:11-13

Revised Geneva Translation

¹¹ Therefore, they set taskmasters over them, to keep them under with burdens. And they built the cities Pithom and Raamses for the treasures of Pharaoh.

¹² But the more they burdened them, the more they multiplied and grew. Therefore, they were more grieved against the children of Israel.

¹³ So, the Egyptians caused the children of Israel to serve by cruelty.
