Exodus 1:16-18

NAS

NIV

16 and he said, "When you are helping the Hebrew women to give birth and see them upon the birthstool, if it is a son, then you shall put him to death; but if it is a daughter, then she shall live."
16 “When you are helping the Hebrew women during childbirth on the delivery stool, if you see that the baby is a boy, kill him; but if it is a girl, let her live.”
17 But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt had commanded them, but let the boys live.
17 The midwives, however, feared God and did not do what the king of Egypt had told them to do; they let the boys live.
18 So the king of Egypt called for the midwives and said to them, "Why have you done this thing, and let the boys live?"
18 Then the king of Egypt summoned the midwives and asked them, “Why have you done this? Why have you let the boys live?”
