27 ^uThus Israel settled in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen. And they gained possessions in it, and ^vwere fruitful and multiplied greatly.

7 ^fBut the people of Israel were ^gfruitful and increased greatly; they multiplied and grew exceedingly strong, so that the land was filled with them.

12 But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and the more they ^lspread abroad. And the Egyptians were in dread of the people of Israel.

20 So God dealt well with the midwives. And the people multiplied and grew very strong.
