Jubilee Bible 2000
15 ¶ And the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, one of whom was named Shiphrah and another named Puah;
16 and he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women and see the sex, if it is a son, then ye shall kill him; but if it is a daughter, then she shall live.
17 But the midwives feared God and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them but gave the men children their lives.
