Exodus 1:19-22 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

19. And the midwives say unto Pharaoh, `Because the Hebrew women [are] not as the Egyptian women, for they [are] lively; before the midwife cometh in unto them--they have borne!'

20. And God doth good to the midwives, and the people multiply, and are very mighty;

21. and it cometh to pass, because the midwives have feared God, that He maketh for them households;

22. and Pharaoh layeth a charge on all his people, saying, `Every son who is born--into the River ye do cast him, and every daughter ye do keep alive.'
