In the Exodus story from the Bible, midwives played a crucial role in saving the Hebrew baby boys from Pharaoh's decree to kill them. The midwives, Shiphrah and Puah, defied Pharaoh's orders and allowed the babies to live, showing courage and compassion in protecting the innocent.
The Israelite midwives, Shiphrah and Puah, were instructed by Pharaoh to kill all newborn Hebrew boys at birth to control the population of the Israelites. However, they feared God and disobeyed Pharaoh's orders, allowing the boys to live. When questioned by Pharaoh, they claimed that Hebrew women gave birth quickly before they could arrive. Their actions ultimately saved many lives and demonstrated their bravery and faithfulness.
There are several types of midwives, lay midwives, certified nurse-midwives and certified midwives. Visit acnm.org for more information on qualifications and education.
