Exodus 1:20-22

Young's Literal Translation

²⁰ And God doth good to the midwives, and the people multiply, and are very mighty;

²¹ and it cometh to pass, because the midwives have feared God, that He maketh for them households;

²² and Pharaoh layeth a charge on all his people, saying, `Every son who is born -- into the River ye do cast him, and every daughter ye do keep alive.'
