18 Y el rey de Egipto hizo llamar á las parteras, y díjoles: Por qué habéis hecho esto, que habéis reservado la vida á los niños?

19 Y las parteras respondieron á Faraón: Porque las mujeres Hebreas no son como las Egipcias: porque son robustas, y paren antes que la partera venga á ellas.

20 Y Dios hizo bien á las parteras: y el pueblo se multiplicó, y se corroboraron en gran manera.

21 Y por haber las parteras temido á Dios, él les hizo casas.

22 Entonces Faraón mandó á todo su pueblo, diciendo: Echad en el río todo hijo que naciere, y á toda hija reservad la vida.
