* And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives , of which the name of the one was Shiphrah , and the name of the other Puah : * And he said , When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women , and see them upon the stools ; if it be a son , then ye shall kill him : but if it be a daughter , then she shall live . * But the midwives feared God , and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them , but saved the men children alive . * And the king of Egypt called for the midwives , and said unto them , Why have ye done this thing , and have saved the men children alive ?
