וַיִּמְעֲט֥וּ וַיָּשֹׁ֑חוּ מֵעֹ֖צֶר רָעָ֣ה וְיָגֽוֹן׃ (׆)
Padahal tadinya mereka berkurang jumlahnya dan tertunduk karena penindasan, kemalangan, dan dukacita.
Rashi
Whereas they were few and they sank down But they, from the beginning, sank down and were few because of dominion, trouble, and sorrow.
