Exodus 1:19 WEB

¹⁷  But the midwives feared God, and didn't do what the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the baby boys alive.

¹⁸  The king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said to them, 'Why have you done this thing, and have saved the men-children alive?'

¹⁹  The midwives said to Pharaoh, 'Because the Hebrew women aren't like the Egyptian women; for they are vigorous, and give birth before the midwife comes to them.'

²⁰  God dealt well with the midwives, and the people multiplied, and grew very mighty.

²¹  It happened, because the midwives feared God, that he gave them families.
