8there arose a new king over Egypt, who has not known Yosef. 9and he has said to his people: see, these people of the children of Israel are more (numerous) and stronger than us. 10come let us self be cunning against him; or else will he self increase, and it will be, that it will self befall a battle, will he also join to to our enemies, and he will battle hold against us, and will go out of land.
