Exodus 1:21 YLT

¹⁹  And the midwives say unto Pharaoh, 'Because the Hebrew women 'are' not as the Egyptian women, for they 'are' lively; before the midwife cometh in unto them -- they have borne!'

²⁰  And God doth good to the midwives, and the people multiply, and are very mighty;

²¹  and it cometh to pass, because the midwives have feared God, that He maketh for them households;

²²  and Pharaoh layeth a charge on all his people, saying, 'Every son who is born -- into the River ye do cast him, and every daughter ye do keep alive.'
