'Midwives' in the Bible

And the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives of whom the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other was Puah --

But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt had said to them, but saved the male children alive.

And the king of Egypt called the midwives and said to them, Why have ye done this, and saved the male children alive?

And the midwives said to Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian; for they are strong, and they have borne before the midwife comes to them.

And God dealt well with the midwives; and the people multiplied and became very strong.

And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.
