Exodus 1:15-17

15Then the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, one of whom 1was named Shiphrah and the other 2was named Puah;

16and he said, “When you are helping the Hebrew women to give birth and see them upon the birthstool, 3if it is a son, then you shall put him to death; but if it is a daughter, then she shall live.”

17But the midwives 4 5feared God, and 6did not do as the king of Egypt had 7commanded them, but let the boys live.
