Exodus 1:9-11

The Voice

Pharaoh (to some of his advisors): ⁹ Look! There are more Israelites than ever before, and they are growing more powerful than we are. ¹⁰ We need to be careful in our dealings with them. Otherwise, they may grow even greater in number, and in a time of war join forces with our enemies, fight against us, and then leave the land.
