Later, the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, one of whom was named Shiphrah and the other Puah.

A man from the tribe of Issachar, Puah's son Tola, grandson of Dodo, arose to save Israel. He lived in Shamir, in the mountainous region of Ephraim.

The four descendants of Issachar included Tola, Puah, Jashub, and Shimron.
