Quantoque opprimebant eos, tanto magis multiplicabantur, et crescebant :
Vulgate
καθότι δὲ αὐτοὺς ἐταπείνουν, τοσούτῳ πλείους ἐγίνοντο, καὶ ἴσχυον σφόδρα σφόδρα· καὶ ἐβδελύσσοντο οἱ Αἰγύπτιοι ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ.
LXX
But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and the more they spread abroad. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.
