As the time drew near for God to fulfill His promise to Abraham, our people in Egypt increased greatly in number.

Context

15So Jacob went down to Egypt, where he and our fathers died. 16Their bones were carried back * to Shechem and placed in the tomb that Abraham had bought from the sons of Hamor at Shechem for a price he paid in silver. 17As the time drew near for God to fulfill His promise to Abraham, our people in Egypt increased greatly in number. 18Then another king, who knew nothing of Joseph, arose over Egypt. 19He exploited our people and oppressed our fathers, forcing them to abandon their infants so they would die.
