Exodus 1:9-11
New Life Version
9 He said to his people, “See, the people of Israel are too many and too powerful for us. 10 Come, let us be wise in how we act towards them, or they will become more in number. If there is a war, they might join with those who hate us. They might fight against us and then leave the land.”
11 So they put men in power over them to make them work hard. And they built the store-cities Pithom and Raamses for Pharaoh the king.

9 “Look,” he said to his people, “the Israelites have become far too numerous(A) for us.(B) 10 Come, we must deal shrewdly(C) with them or they will become even more numerous and, if war breaks out, will join our enemies, fight against us and leave the country.”(D)
