Exodus 1:19 WBT

¹⁷  But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the male-children alive.

¹⁸  And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said to them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the male-children alive?

¹⁹  And the midwives said to Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women [are] not as the Egyptian women: for they [are] lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in to them.

²⁰  Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and became very mighty.

²¹  And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.
