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.
