Exodus 1:15-20

And the king
<04428>
of Egypt
<04714>
spake
<0559> (8799)
to the Hebrew
<05680>
midwives
<03205> (8764)_,
of which the name
<08034>
of the one
<0259>
[was] Shiphrah
<08236>_,
and the name
<08034>
of the other
<08145>
Puah
<06326>_:
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
When ye do the office of a midwife
<03205> (8763)
to the Hebrew women
<05680>_,
and see
<07200> (8804)
[them] upon the stools
<070>_;
if it [be] a son
<01121>_,
then ye shall kill
<04191> (8689)
him: but if it [be] a daughter
<01323>_,
then she shall live
<02425> (8804)_.
But the midwives
<03205> (8764)
feared
<03372> (8799)
God
<0430>_,
and did
<06213> (8804)
not as the king
<04428>
of Egypt
<04714>
commanded
<01696> (8765)
them, but saved
<02421> (0)
the men children
<03206>
alive
<02421> (8762)_.
And the king
<04428>
of Egypt
<04714>
called
<07121> (8799)
for the midwives
<03205> (8764)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Why
<04069>
have ye done
<06213> (8804)
this thing
<01697>_,
and have saved
<02421> (0)
the men children
<03206>
alive
<02421> (8762)_?
And the midwives
<03205> (8764)
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Pharaoh
<06547>_,
Because the Hebrew
<05680>
women
<0802>
[are] not as the Egyptian women
<04713>_;
for they [are] lively
<02422>_,
and are delivered
<03205> (8804)
ere
<02962>
the midwives
<03205> (8764)
come in
<0935> (8799)
unto them.
Therefore God
<0430>
dealt well
<03190> (8686)
with the midwives
<03205> (8764)_:
and the people
<05971>
multiplied
<07235> (8799)_,
and waxed very
<03966>
mighty
<06105> (8799)_.
