18 And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive?
18
Then the king of Egypt summoned the midwives and asked them, “Why have you done this? Why have you let the boys live?”
19 And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them.

The midwives answered Pharaoh, “Hebrew women are not like Egyptian women; they are vigorous and give birth before the midwives arrive.”
