Exodus 1:13-17
13The EgyptiansH4714 1used violenceH6531 to compel the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 2to laborH5647; 14and they madeH4843 3their livesH2425 bitterH4843 with hardH7186 laborH5656 in mortarH2563 and bricksH3843 and at allH3605 kinds of laborH5656 in the fieldH7704, allH3605 their laborsH5656 whichH834 they violentlyH6531 had them performH5647 asH5647 slavesH5647.
15Then the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 spokeH559 to the HebrewH5680 midwivesH3205, oneH259 of whomH834 4was namedH8034 ShiphrahH8236, and the otherH8145 5was namedH8034 PuahH6326; 16and he saidH559, “When you are helping the HebrewH5680 womenH5680 to giveH3205 birthH3205 and seeH7200 them upon the birthstoolH70, 6ifH518 it is a sonH1121, then you shall putH4191 him toH4191 deathH4191; but ifH518 it is a daughterH1323, then she shall liveH2421.” 17But the midwivesH3205 78fearedH3372 GodH430, and 9did not doH6213 as the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 had 10commandedH1696 them, but let the boysH3206 liveH2421.
