Exodus 1:18-20

Darby Translation

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

¹⁹ And the midwives said to Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian; for they are strong, and they have borne before the midwife comes to them.

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