gltv@Exodus:1:9 @ And he said to his people, Behold, the people of the sons of Israel are many and stronger than we.

gltv@Exodus:1:10 @ Come, let us deal craftily towards them, lest they multiply and it shall be that when war occurs they will also add to our enemies, and will fight against us and go up from the land.

gltv@Exodus:1:11 @ And they put over them slave-masters in order to afflict them with their burdens. And he built store cities for Pharaoh: Pithon and Raamses.

gltv@Exodus:1:16 @ and he said, When you midwife the Hebrew women, and look on the birth-stools, if it is a son, you will kill him; and if it is a daughter, it shall live.

gltv@Exodus:1:17 @ And the midwives feared God, and they did not do as the king of Egypt said to them. And they kept the male children alive.

gltv@Exodus:1:18 @ And the king of Egypt called to the midwives and said to them, Why do you do this thing and keep alive the male children?

gltv@Exodus:1:19 @ And the midwives said to Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women, for they are vigorous. Before the midwives come to them they bear.

gltv@Exodus:1:21 @ And it was, because the midwives feared God, He made houses for them.
