[94] ταῦτα δὲ πάντα γίνεσθαι, ὅταν ὁ βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου τελευτήσῃ· τὸ παραδοξότατον· εἰκὸς γὰρ ἦν ἀποθανόντος τυράννου χαίρειν καὶ γεγηθέναι τοὺς τυραννουμένους· ἀλλὰ
τότε λέγονται στενάζειν· „μετὰ γὰρ τὰς ἡμέρας τὰς πολλὰς ἐκείνας ἐτελεύτησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου, καὶ κατεστέναξαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραήλ“ (ibid.).

[94] But that all these things should happen when the king of Egypt dies, should be a most strange thing; for it would be natural that when the tyrant died, all those who have been tyrannised over by him should rejoice and exult; but at that time they are said to groan. "For after many days the king of Egypt died, and the children of Israel groaned." ¹
