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.
