Commentary on Exodus 1:13
And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour (וַיַּעֲבִדוּ מִצְרַיִם אֶת־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּפָרֶךְ, vaya'avidu Mitsrayim et-benei Yisra'el befarekh)—Rigour (פֶּרֶךְ, farekh) denotes brutal, crushing, ruthless oppression. This intensified cruelty follows the failure of forced labor to suppress population growth. The verb made to serve (עָבַד, avad) will become thematic in Exodus—Israel exchanges service to Pharaoh for service to YHWH (3:12, 4:23). The escalating harshness prepares for Israel's desperate cry (2:23) and God's compassionate response (2:24-25).
