Ex. 1:15‑21• 15And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of whom the name of the one [was] Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah;
 16and he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see [them] upon the birth-stool, if a son, then ye shall kill him; but if a daughter, then she shall live.
 17But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the male-children alive.
 18And the king of Egypt called the midwives, and said to them, Why have ye done this, and saved the male-children alive?
 19And the midwives said to Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women [are] not as the Egyptian women; for they are strong, and they have borne before the midwife cometh to them.
 20And God dealt well with the midwives; and the people multiplied and became very strong.
 21And it came to pass because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses. (Ex. 1:15‑21)
