KJV ¹⁵ And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah:

VULC ¹⁵ Dixit autem rex Ægypti obstetricibus Hebræorum, quarum una vocabatur Sephora, altera Phua,

WLC ¹⁵ וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ מִצְרַ֔יִם לַֽמְיַלְּדֹ֖ת הָֽעִבְרִיֹּ֑ת אֲשֶׁ֨ר שֵׁ֤ם הָֽאַחַת֙ שִׁפְרָ֔ה וְשֵׁ֥ם הַשֵּׁנִ֖ית פּוּעָֽה׃

KJV ¹⁶ And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live.

VULC ¹⁶ præcipiens eis : Quando obstetricabitis Hebræas, et partus tempus advenerit : si masculus fuerit, interficite eum : si femina, reservate.

WLC ¹⁶ וַיֹּ֗אמֶר בְּיַלֶּדְכֶן֙ אֶת־ הָֽעִבְרִיּ֔וֹת וּרְאִיתֶ֖ן עַל־ הָאָבְנָ֑יִם אִם־ בֵּ֥ן הוּא֙ וַהֲמִתֶּ֣ן אֹת֔וֹ וְאִם־ בַּ֥ת הִ֖יא וָחָֽיָה׃

KJV ¹⁷ But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.

VULC ¹⁷ Timuerunt autem obstetrices Deum, et non fecerunt juxta præceptum regis Ægypti, sed conservabant mares.

WLC ¹⁷ וַתִּירֶ֤אןָ הַֽמְיַלְּדֹת֙ אֶת־ הָ֣אֱלֹהִ֔ים וְלֹ֣א עָשׂ֔וּ כַּאֲשֶׁ֛ר דִּבֶּ֥ר אֲלֵיהֶ֖ן מֶ֣לֶךְ מִצְרָ֑יִם וַתְּחַיֶּ֖יןָ אֶת־ הַיְלָדִֽים׃

KJV ¹⁸ And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive?

VULC ¹⁸ Quibus ad se accersitis, rex ait : Quidnam est hoc quod facere voluistis, ut pueros servaretis ?

WLC ¹⁸ וַיִּקְרָ֤א מֶֽלֶךְ־ מִצְרַ֙יִם֙ לַֽמְיַלְּדֹ֔ת וַיֹּ֣אמֶר לָהֶ֔ן מַדּ֥וּעַ עֲשִׂיתֶ֖ן הַדָּבָ֣ר הַזֶּ֑ה וַתְּחַיֶּ֖יןָ אֶת־ הַיְלָדִֽים׃

KJV ¹⁹ And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them.

VULC ¹⁹ Quæ responderunt : Non sunt Hebrææ sicut ægyptiæ mulieres : ipsæ enim obstetricandi habent scientiam, et priusquam veniamus ad eas, pariunt.

WLC ¹⁹ וַתֹּאמַ֤רְןָ הַֽמְיַלְּדֹת֙ אֶל־ פַּרְעֹ֔ה כִּ֣י לֹ֧א כַנָּשִׁ֛ים הַמִּצְרִיֹּ֖ת הָֽעִבְרִיֹּ֑ת כִּֽי־ חָי֣וֹת הֵ֔נָּה בְּטֶ֨רֶם תָּב֧וֹא אֲלֵהֶ֛ן הַמְיַלֶּ֖דֶת וְיָלָֽדוּ׃

KJV ²⁰ Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.

VULC ²⁰ Bene ergo fecit Deus obstetricibus : et crevit populus, confortatusque est nimis.

WLC ²⁰ וַיֵּ֥יטֶב אֱלֹהִ֖ים לַֽמְיַלְּדֹ֑ת וַיִּ֧רֶב הָעָ֛ם וַיַּֽעַצְמ֖וּ מְאֹֽד׃

KJV ²¹ And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.

VULC ²¹ Et quia timuerunt obstetrices Deum, ædificavit eis domos.

WLC ²¹ וַיְהִ֕י כִּֽי־ יָֽרְא֥וּ הַֽמְיַלְּדֹ֖ת אֶת־ הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים וַיַּ֥עַשׂ לָהֶ֖ם בָּתִּֽים׃

KJV ²² And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.

VULC ²² Præcepit ergo Pharao omni populo suo, dicens : Quidquid masculini sexus natum fuerit, in flumen projicite : quidquid feminini, reservate.

WLC ²² וַיְצַ֣ו פַּרְעֹ֔ה לְכָל־ עַמּ֖וֹ לֵאמֹ֑ר כָּל־ הַבֵּ֣ן הַיִּלּ֗וֹד הַיְאֹ֙רָה֙ תַּשְׁלִיכֻ֔הוּ וְכָל־ הַבַּ֖ת תְּחַיּֽוּן׃
