And because the midwives feared God, he gave them households of their own.
In context
19The midwives answered Pharaoh, “The Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women — they are vigorous, and they give birth before the midwife can even reach them.” 20So God dealt well with the midwives, and the people multiplied and grew very strong. 21And because the midwives feared God, he gave them households of their own. 22Then Pharaoh commanded all his people, “Throw every son that is born into the river, but let every daughter live.”
