- Joseph died, and all his brothers and all that generation.
- But the sons of Israel were fruitful and increased greatly, and multiplied, and became exceedingly mighty, so that the land was filled with them.
- Now a new king arose over Egypt, who did not know Joseph.
- He said to his people, "Behold, the people of the sons of Israel are more and mightier than we.
- "Come, let us deal wisely with them, or else they will multiply and in the event of war, they will also join themselves to those who hate us, and fight against us and depart from the land."

- And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
- And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.
- Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.
- And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we:
- Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land.
