Exodus 1:13-17

13And the EgyptiansH4713 made the children of IsraelH3478 serveH5647 with harshness;

14and they embittered their lifeH2416 with hardH7186 labour in clay and bricksH3843, and in all manner of labour in the fieldH7704: all their labour with which they made them serveH5647 was with harshness.

15And the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 spoke to the HebrewH5680 midwives — of whom the nameH8034 of the oneH259 was Shiphrah, and the nameH8034 of the other was Puah —

16and he saidH559, When ye help the HebrewH5680 women in bearingH3205, and seeH7200 [them] on the stool, if it be a sonH1121, then ye shall killH4191 him, but if a daughterH1323, then she shall live.

17But the midwives fearedH3372 1GodH430, and did not as the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 had saidH1696 to them, but saved the male childrenH3206 aliveH2421.
