Exodus 1:8
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Then a new king, who did not know Joseph, came to power in Egypt.
In context
6 Now Joseph and all his brothers and all that generation died,
7 but the Israelites were fruitful and increased rapidly; they multiplied and became exceedingly numerous, so that the land was filled with them.
8 Then 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.
10 Come, 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.”
