Exodus 1:17-19

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁷ But the midwives feared God and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them but gave the men children their lives.

¹⁸ And the king of Egypt called for the midwives and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing and have given the men children their lives?

¹⁹ And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women, for they are lively and are delivered before the midwives come in unto them.
