17 But the midwives feared God and did not do as the king of Egypt had spoken to them, but let the boys live. 18 So the king of Egypt called for the midwives and said to them, “Why have you done this thing, and let the boys live?” 19 Then the midwives said to Pharaoh, “Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are vigorous and give birth before the midwife can come to them.” 20 So God was good to the midwives, and the people multiplied and became very mighty. 21 Now it happened that because the midwives feared God, He made households for them.
