Know with certainty that your descendents will be strangers in a land not their own, and they shall serve its inhabitants, who will afflict them

The Egyptians treated us harshly  and afflicted us, and they set hard labor upon us.

They placed taskmasters over them in order to afflict them with their burdens, and they built storage cities for Pharaoh, [called] Pithom and Ramses.

For it was not only one individual who stood up against us to destroy us.

Rather, in every generation they stand up against us to destroy us.
