Who were the Hebrew midwives?
They were the women who helped the Hebrew mothers during childbirth. It's from the Bible in Exodus; Exodus 1:15 and following. Their names were Shiphrah and Puah.
Who was puah in The Bible?
Puah was one of two named midwives of the Hebrews in Egypt. The midwives were ordered by the king of Egypt (Pharoah) to kill all the male infants of the Hebrews at birth. Puah and her colleague Shiphrah defied this command through trickery by saying that the Hebrew women are literally "beasts" (NRSV, "vigorous") who give birth before the midwives can get to them. She is credited for saving Israel by her courage. The king apparently believes her story because he does not punish them. She and Shiphrah are blessed by God with families of their own. This story can be found in Exodus 1:15-21.

Can you briefly trace the events that led to the Exodus?
The Israelites emigrated from Canaan to Egypt because of a famine (Genesis 46). At first they were respected and were under the protection of Joseph, a powerful Israelite; but later, the Egyptians enslaved them under a pretext (Exodus ch.1), and God brought ten plagues upon Egypt (Exodus ch.7-12), in accord with an ancient promise He had made to Abraham (Genesis 15). The plagues compelled the Egyptians to permit the Israelites to leave Egypt (Exodus 12).
