Text -- Exodus 1:16-22 (NET)
Strongs On/Off
Context
1:16 “When you assist the Hebrew women in childbirth , observe at the delivery : If it is a son , kill him, but if it is a daughter , she may live .”
1:17 But the midwives feared God and did not do what the king of Egypt had told them; they let the boys live .
1:18 Then the king of Egypt summoned the midwives and said to them, “Why have you done this and let the boys live ?”
1:19 The 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!”
1:20 So God treated the midwives well , and the people multiplied and became very strong .
1:21 And because the midwives feared God , he made households for them.
1:22 Then Pharaoh commanded all his people , “All sons that are born you must throw into the river , but all daughters you may let live .”
