Exodus 1:20-22

New Century Version

²⁰ God was good to the nurses. And the Hebrew people continued to grow in number, so they became even stronger. ²¹ Because the nurses feared God, he gave them families of their own.

²² So the king commanded all his people, “Every time a boy is born to the Hebrews, you must throw him into the Nile River, but let all the girl babies live.”
