| 12 | But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel. | But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and flourished; so the Egyptians came to dread the Israelites. | But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and the more they spread abroad. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel. |
