Exodus 1:17 in Context — Exodus 1
15 E o rei do Egito falou às parteiras das hebreias, uma das quais se chamava Sifrá, e outra Puá, e disse-lhes:
16 Quando fizerdes o parto das hebreias, e olhardes os assentos, se for filho, matai-o; e se for filha, então viva.
17 Mas as parteiras temeram a Deus, e não fizeram como o rei do Egito lhes mandara; em vez disso, preservaram a vida dos meninos.
18 E o rei do Egito mandou chamar às parteiras e lhes perguntou: Por que fizestes isto, que preservastes a vida dos meninos?
19 As parteiras responderam a Faraó: As mulheres hebreias não são como as egípcias; pois são fortes, de maneira que dão à luz antes que a parteira chegue a elas.
