⁹ And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath-heres, in the mount of Ephraim, on the north side of the hill Gaash.

¹ Now these are the names of the sons of Israel, who came into Egypt (every man and his household came with Jacob):

² Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,

³ Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,

⁴ Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher.

⁵ All the souls who came out of Jacob's body were seventy souls, and Joseph was in Egypt already.

⁶ Joseph died, as did all his brothers, and all that generation.

⁷ The children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and grew exceedingly mighty; and the land was filled with them.

⁸ Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who didn't know Joseph.

⁹ He said to his people, "Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we.

¹⁰ Come, let us deal wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it happen that when any war breaks out, they also join themselves to our enemies, and fight against us, and escape out of the land."

¹¹ Therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with their burdens. They built storage cities for Pharaoh: Pithom and Raamses.

¹² But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and the more they spread out. They were grieved because of the children of Israel.

¹³ The Egyptians ruthlessly made the children of Israel serve,

¹⁴ and they made their lives bitter with hard service, in mortar and in brick, and in all kinds of service in the field, all their service, in which they ruthlessly made them serve.
