11 So they set over them chiefs of forced labor for the purpose of oppressing them in their burden-bearing;+ and they went building cities as storage places for Pharʹaoh, namely, Piʹthom and Ra·amʹses.+

14 And they kept making their life bitter with hard slavery at clay mortar+ and bricks* and with every form of slavery in the field,+ yes, every form of slavery of theirs in which they used them as slaves under tyranny.+

6 And the Egyptians went treating us badly and afflicting us and putting hard slavery upon us.+

19 This one used statecraft against our race*+ and wrongfully forced the fathers to expose their infants, that they might not be preserved alive.+
