In context

6Now Joseph and all his brothers and all that generation died,

7But the Israelites were fruitful and increased rapidly; they multiplied and became exceedingly numerous, so that the land was filled with them.

8Then a new king, who did not know Joseph, came to power in Egypt.

9“Look,” he said to his people, “the Israelites have become too numerous and too powerful for us.

10Come, let us deal shrewdly with them, or they will increase even more; and if a war breaks out, they may join our enemies, fight against us, and leave the country.”
