Exodus 1:16-22

16And he saidH559, When ye do the office of a midwifeH3205 to the Hebrew womenH5680, and seeH7200 them upon the stoolsH70; if it be a sonH1121, then ye shall killH4191 him: but if it be a daughterH1323, then she shall liveH2425.

17But the midwivesH3205 fearedH3372 GodH430, and didH6213 not as the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 commandedH1696 them, but savedH2421 the men childrenH3206 aliveH2421.

18And the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 calledH7121 for the midwivesH3205, and saidH559 unto them, WhyH4069 have ye doneH6213 this thingH1697, and have savedH2421 the men childrenH3206 aliveH2421?

19And the midwivesH3205 saidH559 unto PharaohH6547, Because the HebrewH5680 womenH802 are not as the Egyptian womenH4713; for they are livelyH2422, and are deliveredH3205 ereH2962 the midwivesH3205 come inH935 unto them.

20Therefore GodH430 dealt wellH3190 with the midwivesH3205: and the peopleH5971 multipliedH7235, and waxed veryH3966 mightyH6105.

21And it came to pass, because the midwivesH3205 fearedH3372 GodH430, that he madeH6213 them housesH1004.

22And PharaohH6547 chargedH6680 all his peopleH5971, sayingH559, Every sonH1121 that is bornH3209 ye shall castH7993 into the riverH2975, and every daughterH1323 ye shall save aliveH2421.
