19. The midwives answered Pharaoh, “The Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women. They are robust and give birth before the midwife arrives.”
20. Therefore God dealt well with the midwives; and the people multiplied and grew very numerous.
21. And because the midwives feared God, God built up families for them.
22. Pharaoh then commanded all his people, “Throw into the Nile every boy that is born, but you may let all the girls live.”
