Exodus 1:15-19

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.

18And the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 calledH7121 the midwives and saidH559 to them, WhyH4069 have ye done this, and saved the male childrenH3206 aliveH2421?

19And the midwives saidH559 to PharaohH6547, Because the HebrewH5680 womenH802 are not as the EgyptianH4713; for they are strong, and they have borneH3205 before the midwife comesH935 to them.
