15And the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 spake to the HebrewH5680 midwivesH3205, of whichH834 the nameH8034 of the one was ShiphrahH8236, and the nameH8034 of the otherH259 PuahH6326:

16and he saidH559, When ye doH518 the office of a midwifeH3205 to the HebrewH5680 womenH1323, and seeH7200 them uponH5921 the birthstoolH70; ifH518 it be a sonH1121, then ye shall killH4191 him; but ifH518 it be a daughterH1323, then sheH1931 shall live.

17But the midwivesH3205 fearedH3372 GodH430, and didH6213 notH3808 as the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 commandedH1696 them, but saved the menH3206 childrenH3206 aliveH2421.
