17: But fearedH3372 the midwivesH3205 -H0853 God,H0430 and notH3808 did doH6213 asH0834 commandedH1696 themH0413 the kingH4428 of Egypt,H4714 but saved aliveH2421 -H0853 the male children.H3206

18: So called forH7121 the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 the midwivesH3205 and saidH0559 whyH4069 have you doneH6213 thingH1697 this,H2088 and saved aliveH2421 -H0853 the male children.H3206
