'Midwife' in the Bible

During her difficult labor, the midwife said to her, “Don’t be afraid, for you have another son.”

As she was giving birth, one of them put out his hand, and the midwife took it and tied a scarlet thread around it, announcing, “This one came out first.”

The midwives said to Pharaoh, “The Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women, for they are vigorous and give birth before a midwife can get to them.”
