Exodus 1
6 Now Joseph and all his brothers and all that generation died,
7 but the Israelites were fruitful and increased rapidly; they multiplied and became exceedingly numerous, so that the land was filled with them.

9 “Look,” he said to his people, “the Israelites have become too numerous and too powerful for us.
