Exodus 1:18-20
International Standard Version
18 When the king of Egypt called for the midwives, he asked them, “Why have you done this[a] and allowed the boys to live?”
19 “Hebrew women aren’t like Egyptian women,” the midwives replied to Pharaoh. “They’re so healthy that they give birth before the midwives arrive to help[b] them.”
20 God was pleased with the midwives, and the people multiplied and became very strong.
