19 And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are vigorous, and are delivered before the midwives come in unto them.
20 Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and grew very mighty.
21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he gave them families.
22 And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born you shall cast into the river, and every daughter you shall save alive.
