12 But as they humbled them, by so much they multiplied, and grew exceedingly strong; and the Egyptians greatly abhorred the children of Israel.

And just as people afflicted it so it increased and so it spread and people felt dread because of [the] people of Israel.

13 And the Egyptians tyrannized over the children of Israel by force.

And they compelled to labor Egypt [the] people of Israel with harshness.

15 And the king of the Egyptians spoke to the midwives of the Hebrews; the name of the one was, Sepphora; and the name of the second, Phua.

And he said [the] king of Egypt to the midwives Hebrew who [the] name of the one [was] Shiphrah and [the] name of the second [was] Puah.

16 And he said, When you do the office of midwives to the Hebrew women, and they are about to be delivered, if it be a male, kill it; but if a female, save it.

And he said when assist as midwife you the Hebrew [women] and you will look at the stones if [is] a son he and you will kill him and if [is] a daughter she and she will live.

17 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt appointed them; and they saved the male children alive.

And they feared the midwives God and not they did just as he had spoken to them [the] king of Egypt and they let live the [male] children.

18 And the king of Egypt called the midwives, and said to them, Why is it that you have done this thing, and saved the male children alive?

And he summoned [the] king of Egypt the midwives and he said to them why? have you done the thing this and have you let live? the [male] children.

19 And the midwives said to Pharao, The Hebrew women are not as the women of Egypt, for they are delivered before the midwives go in to them. So they bore children.

And they said the midwives to Pharaoh for not [are] like the women Egyptian the Hebrew [women] that [are] vigorous they before she comes to them the midwife and they give birth.

20 And God did well to the midwives, and the people multiplied, and grew very strong.

And he did good God to the midwives and it increased the people and they became mighty exceedingly.

21 And as the midwives feared God, they established for themselves families.

And it was that they feared the midwives God and he appointed for them households.

And he commanded Pharaoh to all people his saying every son born the River towards you will throw him and every daughter you will let live!
