Exodus 1:15
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Then the king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, whose names were Shiphrah and Puah,
In context
13 They worked the Israelites ruthlessly
14 and made their lives bitter with hard labor in brick and mortar, and with all kinds of work in the fields. Every service they imposed was harsh.
15 Then the king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, whose names were Shiphrah and Puah,
16 “When you help the Hebrew women give birth, observe them on the birthstools. If the child is a son, kill him; but if it is a daughter, let her live.”
17 The midwives, however, feared God and did not do as the king of Egypt had instructed; they let the boys live.
