Exodus 1:9-11
Lexham English Bible
9 And he said to his people, “Look, the people of the Israelites[a] are greater and more numerous than us. 10 Come, we must deal shrewdly with them, lest they become many, and when war happens, they also will join our enemies and will fight against us and go up from the land.” 11 And they appointed commanders of forced labor over them in order to oppress them with their forced labor,[b] and they built storage cities for Pharaoh—Pithom and Rameses.
