¹² The Egyptians made the Israelites work more and more. But the Israelites still became more in number. They had many children and they lived in every part of the country. Because of this, the Egyptians began to be afraid of them. ¹³ So the Egyptians made the Israelites work without any rest. ¹⁴ The Israelites became very upset because of all the difficult work. They had to build houses with bricks and mortar.^[a] They also did many different kinds of work in the fields. The Egyptians made the Israelites do all this difficult work.
