Amaokwu Akwụkwọ Nsọ Ndị Ama Ama siteré na Exodus 1

Kesaa

But the midwives feared God and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded, but let the male babies live.

But the more [the Egyptians] oppressed them, the more they multiplied and expanded, so that [the Egyptians] were vexed and alarmed because of the Israelites.

And because the midwives revered and feared God, He made them households [of their own].

Now a new king arose over Egypt who did not know Joseph.
