So the king of Egypt summoned the midwives and asked them, "Why have you done this? Why have you let the boys live?" Context 18So the king of Egypt called for the midwives and said to them, “Why have you done this thing, and let the boys live?” 19The midwives said to Pharaoh, “Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are vigorous and give birth before the midwife can get to them.” 20So God was good to the midwives, and the people multiplied, and became very mighty. 21Because the midwives feared God, He established households for them. 22Then Pharaoh commanded all his people, saying, “Every son who is born you are to cast into the Nile, and every daughter you are to keep alive.” Links Exodus 1:18 NIVExodus 1:18 NLT Exodus 1:18 ESV Exodus 1:18 NASB Exodus 1:18 KJV Exodus 1:18 Commentaries Bible Hub |
