Exodus 1:20-22 Amplified Bible (AMP)

20. So God dealt well with the midwives and the people multiplied and became very strong.

21. And because the midwives revered and feared God, He made them households [of their own].

22. Then Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son born [to the Hebrews] you shall cast into the river [Nile], but every daughter you shall allow to live.
