Exodus 1:6-10
New International Version
6 Now Joseph and all his brothers and all that generation died,(A) 7 but the Israelites were exceedingly fruitful; they multiplied greatly, increased in numbers(B) and became so numerous that the land was filled with them.
8 Then a new king, to whom Joseph meant nothing, came to power in Egypt.(C) 9 “Look,” he said to his people, “the Israelites have become far too numerous(D) for us.(E) 10 Come, we must deal shrewdly(F) 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.”(G)
Exodus 1:6-10
King James Version
6 And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
7 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.
8 Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.
9 And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we:
10 Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land.
