- 2:37Chapter
- 2:37one,
- 2:37verse
- 2:38seven
- 2:38tells
- 2:38us,
- 2:39but
- 2:39the
- 2:39people
- 2:39of
- 2:40Israel
- 2:40were
- 2:40fruitful
- 2:41and
- 2:41increased
- 2:41greatly.
- 2:42They
- 2:42multiplied
- 2:42and
- 2:43grew
- 2:43exceedingly
- 2:44strong
- 2:44so
- 2:44that
- 2:44the
- 2:44land

- 2:49covenant
- 2:49is
- 2:49being

- 2:50One
- 2:50objection
- 2:51to
- 2:51the
- 2:51Bible
- 2:51being
- 2:51true
- 2:52and
- 2:52specifically
- 2:53the
- 2:53Book
- 2:53of
- 2:53Exodus
- 2:54is
- 2:54because
- 2:54critics
- 2:54say
- 2:55a
- 2:55people
- 2:55couldn't
- 2:56have
- 2:56possibly
- 2:56multiplied
- 2:57this
- 2:57quick,
- 2:57But
- 2:58with
- 2:58God
- 2:58they
- 2:58could
- 2:58have,
- 2:59there's
- 2:59a
- 2:59new
- 2:59Pharaoh
- 3:00different
- 3:00than

- 3:01and
- 3:01he's
- 3:02threatened
- 3:02by
- 3:02the
- 3:02people
- 3:02of
- 3:03Israel,
- 3:03so
- 3:03he
- 3:03turned
- 3:04them
- 3:04into
- 3:04slaves.
- 3:05He
- 3:05also
- 3:05asked
- 3:06the
- 3:06Hebrew
- 3:06midwives
- 3:06to
- 3:07kill
- 3:07all
- 3:07of
- 3:07the
- 3:07baby
- 3:08boys.
- 3:08One
- 3:09reads,
- 3:10but
- 3:10the
- 3:10midwives
- 3:10feared
- 3:11God
- 3:11and
- 3:11did
- 3:11not
- 3:12do
- 3:12as
- 3:12the
- 3:12King
- 3:12of
- 3:12Egypt
- 3:13commanded
- 3:13them,
- 3:13but
- 3:14let
- 3:14the
- 3:14male
- 3:14children
- 3:14live.
- 3:15They
- 3:15told
- 3:15Pharaoh.
- 3:16The
- 3:16Hebrew
- 3:16women
- 3:17are
- 3:17not
- 3:17like
- 3:17the
- 3:17Egyptian
- 3:18women
- 3:18for
- 3:18they
- 3:18are
- 3:18vigorous
- 3:19and
- 3:19give
- 3:19birth
- 3:20before
- 3:20the
- 3:20midwife
- 3:20comes
- 3:20to
- 3:21them
- 3:21and
- 3:21God
- 3:21blesses
- 3:22them
- 3:22for
- 3:22it.
- 3:22So
- 3:23God
- 3:23dealt
- 3:23well
- 3:24with
- 3:24the
- 3:24midwives
- 3:24and
- 3:24the
- 3:25people
- 3:25multiplied
- 3:25and
- 3:26grew
- 3:26very
- 3:26strong.
- 3:26and
- 3:27because
- 3:27the
- 3:27midwives
- 3:27feared
- 3:28God,
- 3:28he
- 3:28gave
- 3:28them
- 3:28families.
- 3:29These
- 3:30Hebrews
- 3:30were
- 3:30used
- 3:30to
- 3:31working
- 3:31very
- 3:31hard,
- 3:32so
- 3:32their
- 3:32bodies
- 3:32might
- 3:33have
- 3:33been
- 3:33more
- 3:33prepared
- 3:34However
- 3:35It's
- 3:35probably
- 3:35true
- 3:35that
- 3:36the
- 3:36midwives
- 3:36did
- 3:36lie
- 3:37to
- 3:37Pharaoh
- 3:37because
- 3:38they
- 3:38feared
- 3:38God
- 3:39and
- 3:39did
- 3:39not
- 3:39want
- 3:39to
- 3:39take
- 3:40life.
- 3:40you
- 3:40can
- 3:40think
- 3:41about
- 3:41this
- 3:41as
- 3:41perhaps
- 3:42breaking
- 3:42a
- 3:42speed
- 3:43limit
- 3:43to
- 3:43save
- 3:43someone's
- 3:44life,
- 3:44to
- 3:44get
- 3:44them
- 3:44to
- 3:44the
- 3:44emergency
- 3:45room
- 3:45It
- 3:45was
- 3:46necessary
- 3:46to
- 3:46obey
- 3:47God's
- 3:47greater
- 3:47law
- 3:48of
- 3:48protecting
- 3:48life.
- 3:49And
- 3:49I
- 3:49don't
- 3:49know
- 3:49exactly
- 3:50what
- 3:50this
- 3:50looked
- 3:50like,
- 3:51that
- 3:51the
- 3:51Lord
- 3:51bless
- 3:51them
- 3:52with
- 3:52families,
- 3:52but
