Exodus 1:15
Compare all
13 So the Egyptians made the children of Israel aserve with rigor.  
14 And they amade their lives bitter with hard bondage—bin mortar, in brick, and in all manner of service in the field. All their service in which they made them serve was with rigor.  
15 Then the king of Egypt spoke to the aHebrew midwives, of whom the name of one was Shiphrah and the name of the other Puah;  
16 and he said, “When you do the duties of a midwife for the Hebrew women, and see them on the birthstools, if it is a ason, then you shall kill him; but if it is a daughter, then she shall live.”  
17 But the midwives afeared God, and did not do bas the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the male children alive.  
18 So the king of Egypt called for the midwives and said to them, “Why have you done this thing, and saved the male children alive?”
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.”
