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

And so it was, because the midwives feared God, that He provided households for them.

Then he said, “Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you intend to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?” So Moses feared and said, “Surely this thing is known!”

He who feared the word of the Lord among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his livestock flee to the houses.

But as for you and your servants, I know that you will not yet fear the Lord God.”

Thus Israel saw the great work which the Lord had done in Egypt; so the people feared the Lord, and believed the Lord and His servant Moses.

“Who is like You, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like You, glorious in holiness, Fearful in praises, doing wonders?

Fear and dread will fall on them; By the greatness of Your arm They will be as still as a stone, Till Your people pass over, O Lord, Till the people pass over Whom You have purchased.

Moreover you shall select from all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.

And Moses said to the people, “Do not fear; for God has come to test you, and that His fear may be before you, so that you may not sin.”

“I will send My fear before you, I will cause confusion among all the people to whom you come, and will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.
