From the Paper:

"In any case, when the new king of Egypt came to power, he saw that the people of Israel were great and mightier than his own people. Therefore the king believed that he must "deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that , when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us and so get them up out of land." The Old Testament reports that with this declaration, the king of Egypt forced the people of Israel to take on the burdens of building for the Pharoah the treasure cities of Pithom and Raamses. However, the people of Israel continued to multiply and the Egyptians were angered by this. Eventually the people of Israel were enslaved by the Egyptians and their lives were made difficult. Finally, the King of Egypt ordered the midwives to kill the sons of Hebrew women. However, the midwives feared God and refused to kill the sons of Israel. The Pharoah odered "all his people, saying, every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and ecery daughter ye shall save alive." "
