Exodus 1:15-22

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.”

17But the midwivesH3205 45fearedH3372 GodH430, and 6did not doH6213 as the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 had 7commandedH1696 them, but let the boysH3206 liveH2421.

18So the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 calledH7121 for the midwivesH3205 and saidH559 to them, “WhyH4069 have you doneH6213 thisH2088 thingH1697, and let the boysH3206 liveH2421?”

19The midwivesH3205 saidH559 to PharaohH6547, “BecauseH3588 the HebrewH5680 womenH5680 are not like the EgyptianH4713 womenH802; for they are vigorousH2422 and giveH3205 birthH3205 beforeH2962 the midwifeH3205 8canH935 getH935 to them.”

20So 9GodH430 wasH3190 goodH3190 to the midwivesH3205, and 10the peopleH5971 multipliedH7235, and becameH6105 veryH3966 11mightyH6105.

21And becauseH3588 the midwivesH3205 1213fearedH3372 GodH430, He 1415establishedH6213 16householdsH1004 for them.

22Then PharaohH6547 commandedH6680 allH3605 his peopleH5971, sayingH559, “17EveryH3605 sonH1121 who is bornH3209, 18you are to throwH7993 into 19the NileH2975, but everyH3605 daughterH1323, you are to keepH2421 aliveH2421.”
