15Then the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 spokeH559 to the HebrewH5680 midwivesH3205, oneH259 of whomH834 1was namedH8034 ShiphrahH8236, and the otherH8145 2was namedH8034 PuahH6326;

16and he saidH559, “When you are helping the HebrewH5680 womenH5680 to giveH3205 birthH3205 and seeH7200 them upon the birthstoolH70, 3ifH518 it is a sonH1121, then you shall putH4191 him toH4191 deathH4191; but ifH518 it is a daughterH1323, then she shall liveH2421.”
