Exodus 1:11 in Context — Exodus 1
9 Il dit à son peuple: Voilà les enfants d’Israël qui forment un peuple plus nombreux et plus puissant que nous.
10 Allons! Montrons-nous habiles à son égard; empêchons qu’il ne s’accroisse, et que, s’il survient une guerre, il ne se joigne à nos ennemis, pour nous combattre et sortir ensuite du pays.
11 Et l’on établit sur lui des chefs de corvées, afin de l’accabler de travaux pénibles. C’est ainsi qu’il bâtit les villes de Pithom et de Ramsès, pour servir de magasins à Pharaon.
12 Mais plus on l’accablait, plus il multipliait et s’accroissait; et l’on prit en aversion les enfants d’Israël.
13 Alors les Égyptiens réduisirent les enfants d’Israël à une dure servitude.
