Exodus 1:19-22 ▼

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.

22 And Pharaoh commanded all his people, saying, “Every son who is born you are to cast into the Nile, and every daughter you are to keep alive.”
