King James Version (KJV)

Exodus 1:7

“And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.”

Verse in context — Exodus 1

And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt [already].

And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.

And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.

Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.

And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel [are] more and mightier than we:

God delivers Israel from Egypt, gives the Ten Commandments, and establishes His covenant with His people.
