Exodus Chapter 1, Verse 9/commentary

From BibleWiki

The statement that "the people of the children of Israel" (ישׂראל בּני עם lit., "nation, viz., the sons of Israel;" for עם with the dist. accent is not the construct state, and ישראל בני is in apposition, cf. Ges. §113) were "more and mightier" than the Egyptians, is no doubt an exaggeration.
