    15The king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, whose names were Shiphrah and Puah,

    16"When you help the Hebrew women give birth and observe them on the birthing stools, if it is a boy, kill him; but if it is a girl, let her live."

    17The midwives, however, feared God and did not obey the king of Egypt's command; they let the boys live.

    18So the king of Egypt summoned the midwives and asked them, "Why have you done this and allowed the boys to live?"

    19The midwives answered Pharaoh, "The Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women; they are vigorous and give birth before the midwives arrive."

    20So God was good to the midwives, and the people multiplied and became very numerous.

    21And because the midwives feared God, he gave them families of their own.

    4His sister stood at a distance to see what would happen to him.

    5Pharaoh's daughter went down to bathe at the river, and her attendants walked along the bank. She saw the basket among the reeds, sent her servant, and had it brought to her.

    7Then his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, 'Shall I go and call a Hebrew woman to nurse the child for you?'
