What is the Torah adding with this verse? What did the Egyptians do now, that they did not do in the initial stage of our forced labor?

What does "b'Farech" mean?

The Gemara (Sotah 11b) interprets "Parech" as 'Peh Rach.' As Rashi (loc. cit.) explains, the Egyptians initially drew in the Bnei Yisrael with soft words, and promises of wages, until they were conditioned to working. But this interpretation ("soft" words) seems to be the opposite of the simple translation of "Parech" --'hard, difficult, back-breaking'!

The Torah (in Parshas Behar, Vayikra 25:42-43, 46) forbids making one's Eved Ivri work in a manner that is "b'Farech." What does this prohibition include?
