We have here,
I. God's kindness to Israel, in multiplying them exceedingly, (Exodus 1:1-7).
II. The Egyptians' wickedness to them,
1. Oppressing and enslaving them, (Exodus 1:8-14).
2. Murdering their children, (Exodus 1:15-22).
Thus whom the court of heaven blessed the country of Egypt cursed, and for that reason.
--from Matthew Henry
