18 And the king of Egypt called for the midwives and said to them, Why have you done this thing, and have saved the male children alive?

19 And the midwives said to Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women [are] not like the Egyptian women. For they [are] lively, and are delivered before the midwives come in to them.

20 And God dealt well with the midwives. And the people multiplied and became very mighty.
