Exodus 1:21
Made them houses - i. e. they married Hebrews and became mothers in Israel. The expression is proverbial. See the margin reference.
19 And athe midwives said to Pharaoh, “Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women; for they1 are lively and give birth before the midwives come to them.”
20 aTherefore God dealt well with the midwives, and the people multiplied and1 grew very mighty.
21 And so it was, because the midwives feared God, athat He provided households for them.
22 So Pharaoh commanded all his people, saying, a“Every son who is born you shall cast into the river, and every daughter you shall save alive.”
