more and mightier than we. 10“Come, let us ddeal wisely with them, or else they will multiply and ▼▼ Lit it came about when war befalls that
in the event of war, they will also join themselves to those who hate us, and fight against us and ▼▼ Lit go up from
depart from the land.” 11So they appointed gtaskmasters over them to afflict them with ▼▼ Lit their burdens
