 1:15 ¶ And the King 4428 of Egypt 4714 spake 559 z8799 to the Hebrew 5680 midwiues, 3205 z8764 (of which x834 the name 8034 of one 259 was Shiphrah, 8236 and the name 8034 of the other 8145 Puah.) 6326

 1:16 And he said, 559 z8799 When ye do the office of a midwife 3205 z8763 to x853 the Hebrew-women, 5680 and see 7200 z8804 them vpon x5921 the stooles, 70 if x518 it x1931 be a sonne, 1121 then ye shall kill 4191 z8689 him: but if x518 it x1931 be a daughter, 1323 then shee shall liue. 2425 z8804

 1:17 But the midwiues 3205 z8764 feared 3372 z8799 x853 God, 430 and did 6213 z8804 not x3808 as x834 the King 4428 of Egypt 4714 commanded 1696 z8765 x413 them, but saued 2421 z0 x853 the men children 3206 aliue. y2421 z8762

 1:19 And the midwiues 3205 z8764 said 559 z8799 vnto x413 Pharaoh, 6547 Because x3588 the Hebrew y5680 women y802 x5680 are not x3808 as the Egyptian x4713 women: y4713 x802 for x3588 they x2007 are liuely, 2422 and are deliuered 3205 z8804 ere 2962 the midwiues 3205 z8764 come in 935 z8799 vnto x413 them.

 1:20 Therefore God 430 dealt well 3190 z8686 with the midwiues: 3205 z8764 and the people 5971 multiplied 7235 z8799 and waxed very y3966 mighty. 6105 z8799 x3966

 1:21 And it came to passe, x1961 because x3588 the midwiues 3205 z8764 feared 3372 z8804 x853 God, 430 that hee made 6213 z8799 them houses. 1004

 1:22 And Pharaoh 6547 charged 6680 z8762 all x3605 his people, 5971 saying, 559 z8800 Euery x3605 sonne 1121 that is borne, 3209 yee shall cast 7993 z8686 into the riuer, 2975 and euery x3605 daughter 1323 ye shall saue aliue. 2421 z8762
