Shemot 1:18-20

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁸ So Melech Mitzrayim called for the meyalledot, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the yeladim alive?

¹⁹ And the meyalledot said unto Pharaoh, Because HaIvriyyot are not as the Egyptian women; for they are vigorous, and are delivered before the meyalledot come in unto them.

²⁰ Therefore Elohim dealt well with the meyalledot; and the people multiplied, and grew very strong.
