Exodus 1:17-19
17But the midwives feared God and did not do what the king of Egypt had told them; they let the boys live.
18Then the king of Egypt summoned the midwives and said to them, “Why have you done this and let the boys live?”
19The midwives said to Pharaoh, “Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women – for the Hebrew women are vigorous; they give birth before the midwife gets to them!”
