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.
22 And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.
