Exodus 1:17-19

17The midwives, howeverH3205, fearedH3372 GodH430 and did notH3808 doH6213 asH834 the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 had instructedH1696H413; they let the boysH3206 liveH2421. 18So the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 summonedH7121 the midwivesH3205 and askedH559 them, “WhyH4069 have you doneH6213H1697 thisH2088? Why have you let the boysH3206 liveH2421?”

19The midwivesH3205 answeredH559H413 PharaohH6547, “The Hebrew womenH5680H3588 are notH3808 like the EgyptianH4713 womenH802, forH3588 theyH2007 are vigorousH2422 and give birthH3205 beforeH2962 a midwifeH3205 arrivesH935H413.”
