וַיְמָרְר֨וּ אֶת־חַיֵּיהֶ֜ם בַּעֲבֹדָ֣ה קָשָׁ֗ה בְּחֹ֙מֶר֙ וּבִלְבֵנִ֔ים וּבְכָל־עֲבֹדָ֖ה בַּשָּׂדֶ֑ה אֵ֚ת כָּל־עֲבֹ֣דָתָ֔ם אֲשֶׁר־עָבְד֥וּ בָהֶ֖ם בְּפָֽרֶךְ׃
Mereka membuat hidup anak-anak Israel pahit dengan pekerjaan berat: mengolah tanah liat, membuat batu bata, dan segala macam pekerjaan di ladang. Semua pekerjaan yang mereka paksakan kepada anak-anak Israel dilakukan dengan kerja paksa yang meremukkan tubuh.
Targum Jonathan
and made their lives bitter by hard service in clay and bricks, and all the labour of the face of the field; and in all the work which they made them do was hardness.
