6671. 'With all their [other] service in which they made them serve with rigour' means the aim to bring them under their control by the use of many methods, without showing them any mercy. This is clear from the meaning of 'service' as the aim to bring under their control, as above in 6666, 6668, 6670, and in many ways, since the words 'all their service' are used; and from the meaning of 'rigour' as without mercy, dealt with in 6667.

6668. 'And they made their life bitter with hard service' means to such an extent that the aim to bring them under their control became vexatious. This is clear from the meaning of 'life being made bitter' as becoming vexatious; and from the meaning of 'hard service' as control over, at this point the intention to gain control over, as above in 6666.
