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.'
