Pastor David Hoffman-Fear of the Lord

Several hundred years after Abraham died, his descendants,
the Israelites, were living in Egypt. The family had grown to
great numbers and the Egyptians began to feel threatened.
Pharaoh feared that the Israelites might rise up against him so
he forced them into slavery, but the more the Israelites were
afflicted, the more they multiplied. Pharaoh devised a plan to
stop Israel’s growth, but it also failed because the midwives he
commanded to help him feared God more than man:
Then the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, one
of whom was named Shiphrah and the other was named
Puah; and he said, “When you are helping the Hebrew
women to give birth and see them upon the birthstool, if it
is a son, then you shall put him to death; but if it is a
daughter, then she shall live. But the midwives feared
God, and did not do as the king of Egypt had commanded
them, but let the boys live. So the king of Egypt called for
the midwives and said to them, “Why have you done this
thing, and let the boys live?” The midwives said to
Pharaoh, “Because the Hebrew women are not as the
Egyptian women; for they are vigorous and give birth
before the midwife can get to them.” So God was good to
the midwives, and the people multiplied, and became very
mighty. [Exodus 1:15-20]
