But Shiphrah and Puah had respect for God. They didn’t do what the king of Egypt had told them to do. They let the boys live.Then the king of Egypt sent for the women. He asked them,“ Why have you done this? Why have you let the boys live?”The women answered Pharaoh,“ Hebrew women are not like the women of Egypt. They are strong. They have their babies before we get there.”So God was kind to Shiphrah and Puah. And the number of Israelites became even greater.Shiphrah and Puah had respect for God.
