Exodus 1:17-19
1599 Geneva Bible
17 Notwithstanding the midwives feared God, and did not as the King of Egypt commanded them, but preserved alive the men children.
18 Then the King of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done thus, and have preserved alive the men children?
19 And the midwives answered Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew [a]women are not as the women of Egypt: for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come at them.
