made our yoke heavy
(Some words not found in UHB: I_will_show=you(ms) heavy DOM yoke_of,our and=you(ms) now lighten from,service_of I_will_show=you(ms) the,hard and,from,yoke_of,his the,heavy which/who he/it_gave on,us and,serve,you )
A heavy yoke is a metaphor for very difficult labor and requirements. Alternate translation: “treated us cruelly” or “forced us to work very hard”
12:4 harsh labor demands and heavy taxes: See 4:7, 22-23; 5:13-18; 9:20-23; 11:27-28.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
