Exodus 1:19-21

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁹ They answered: The Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women: for they themselves are skillful in the office of a midwife; and they are delivered before we come to them.

²⁰ Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied and grew exceedingly strong.

²¹ And because the midwives feared God, he built them houses.
