Exodus 1:20 in Context — Exodus 1

18 Le roi d’Égypte appela les sages-femmes, et leur dit: Pourquoi avez-vous agi ainsi, et avez-vous laissé vivre les enfants?

19 Les sages-femmes répondirent à Pharaon: C’est que les femmes des Hébreux ne sont pas comme les Égyptiennes; elles sont vigoureuses et elles accouchent avant l’arrivée de la sage-femme.

20 Dieu fit du bien aux sages-femmes; et le peuple multiplia et devint très nombreux.

21 Parce que les sages-femmes avaient eu la crainte de Dieu, Dieu fit prospérer leurs maisons.

22 Alors Pharaon donna cet ordre à tout son peuple: Vous jetterez dans le fleuve tout garçon qui naîtra, et vous laisserez vivre toutes les filles.
