'Midwife' in the Bible

When she was in hard labor, the midwife said to her, "Don't be afraid, for now you will have another son."

When she travailed, one put out a hand, and the midwife took and tied a scarlet thread on his hand, saying, "This came out first."

and he said, "When you perform the duty of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them on the birth stool; if it is a son, then you shall kill him; but if it is a daughter, then she shall live."

The midwives said to Pharaoh, "Because the Hebrew women aren't like the Egyptian women; for they are vigorous, and give birth before the midwife comes to them."
