Deuteronomy 26:6

And the Egyptians evil entreated us ,.... Ordered their male children to be killed by the midwives, and by another edict to be drowned by the people:

and afflicted us ; by setting taskmasters over them, who put heavy burdens upon them:

and laid upon us hard bondage ; in mortar and brick, and all manner of field service, in which they made them serve with rigour, and whereby their lives were made bitter; see Exodus 1:9 .
