'Midwives' in the Bible

And the king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives--of whom the name of the one [was] Shiphrah and the name of the second [was] Puah--

But the midwives feared God, and they did not do as the king of Egypt had said to them. They let the boys live.

And the king of Egypt summoned the midwives, and he said to them, "Why have you done this thing and let the boys live?"

And the midwives said to Pharaoh, "Because the Hebrew [women are] not like the Egyptian women, because they [are] vigorous; before the midwife comes to them, they have given birth."

And God did the midwives good, and the [Israelite] people became many and were very numerous.

{And so} because the midwives feared God, he gave them {families}.
