6 Now Joseph and all his brothers and all that generation died, 7 but the Israelites were exceedingly fruitful; they multiplied greatly, increased in numbers and became so numerous that the land was filled with them.
8 Then a new king, to whom Joseph meant nothing, came to power in Egypt. 9 “Look,” he said to his people, “the Israelites have become far too numerous for us. 10 Come, we must deal shrewdly with them or they will become even more numerous and, if war breaks out, will join our enemies, fight against us and leave the country.”
11 So they put slave masters over them to oppress them with forced labor, and they built Pithom and Rameses as store cities for Pharaoh. 12 But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and spread; so the Egyptians came to dread the Israelites 13 and worked them ruthlessly. 14 They made their lives bitter with harsh labor in brick and mortar and with all kinds of work in the fields; in all their harsh labor the Egyptians worked them ruthlessly.
Kind of makes you wonder WHO is in charge?
this whole thing could be turned around if 500,000 good Christian couples started producing like an old fashioned Catholic or Mormon would have done...I'm absolutely serious....
we're losing the numbers game...
It took awhile to square things but in 1967 and 1973 the Egypts lost their entire airforce and most of their armored forces. They’ve been a little humble in recent decades. Now they mught be wishing they had a little more Israeli straw so they can make a better brick. Their tourism bidness has gone to mudd since the recent unpleasantness in Cairo.
