Exodus 1:19 in Context — Exodus 1
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.
20 E Deus fez bem às parteiras. E o povo se multiplicou, e se fortaleceu muito.
21 E por as parteiras terem temido a Deus, ele constituiu famílias a elas.
