Shemot 1:18-22 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

18. So Melech Mitzrayim called for the meyalledot, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the yeladim alive?

19. And the meyalledot said unto Pharaoh, Because HaIvriyyot are not as the Egyptian women; for they are vigorous, and are delivered before the meyalledot come in unto them.

20. Therefore Elohim dealt well with the meyalledot; and the people multiplied, and grew very strong.

21. And it came to pass, because the meyalledot feared HaElohim, that He established them batim.

22. And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every ben that is born ye shall cast into the Nile, and every bat ye shall save alive.
