Exodus 1:15-21

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)_.

And it came to pass, because the midwives
<03205> (8764)

feared
<03372> (8804)

God
<0430>_,

that he made
<06213> (8799)

them houses
<01004>_.
