Exodus 1:9

⁹And he said to his people: Behold the people of the children of Israel are numerous and stronger than we.

Exodus 1 opens the dramatic narrative of Israel's oppression in Egypt, setting the stage for their miraculous deliverance. It details the rapid growth of Jacob's descendants into a vast nation, fulfilling God's covenant promises. This prosperity, however, sparks fear and hostility in a new Egyptian pharaoh, leading to severe enslavement and brutal attempts to control Israel's population. The chapter highlights God's faithfulness to His people even in their suffering and introduces the courageous midwives who defy Pharaoh's wicked decree, demonstrating early acts of faith and resistance.
