New American Standard Bible 1995
14 and they made (A)their lives bitter with hard labor in mortar and bricks and at all kinds of labor in the field, all their labors which they rigorously [a]imposed on them.
15 Then the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, one of whom [b]was named Shiphrah and the other [c]was named Puah; 16 and he said, “When you are helping the Hebrew women to give birth and see them upon the birthstool, (B)if it is a son, then you shall put him to death; but if it is a daughter, then she shall live.”
