Exodus 1:18-20

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁸ Then the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said to them, “Why have you done this, and have saved the male children?”

¹⁹ And the midwives answered Pharaoh, “Because the Hebrew women are not as the women of Egypt. For they are vigorous and are delivered before the midwives approach them.”

²⁰ God, therefore, prospered the midwives; and the people multiplied and were very mighty.
