Exodus 1:17-21

17But the midwivesH3205 fearedH3372 GodH430, and didH6213 not as the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 commandedH1696 them, but savedH2421 the malesH3206 aliveH2421. 18And the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 calledH7121 for the midwivesH3205, and saidH559 to them, WhyH4069 have ye doneH6213 this thingH1697, and have savedH2421 the malesH3206 aliveH2421? 19And the midwivesH3205 saidH559 to PharaohH6547, Because the HebrewH5680 womenH802 are not as the Egyptian womenH4713; for they are livelyH2422, and are deliveredH3205 ereH2962 the midwivesH3205 come inH935 to them. 20Therefore GodH430 dealt wellH3190 with the midwivesH3205: and the peopleH5971 multipliedH7235, and became veryH3966 mightyH6105. 21And it came to pass, because the midwivesH3205 fearedH3372 GodH430, that he gaveH6213 them familiesH1004.
