They were appointed by Pharaoh.
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.
Shiphrah and Puah are the midwives that disobeyed Pharaoh's order to kill all the sons born to Jews in Egypt. As noted by Rabbi Telushkin, these women may have committed the first recorded acts of Civil Disobedience. He further notes that the Torah provides the names of these two courageous women, and not the name of the Pharaoh whose murderous order was ignored.
Shiphrah and Puah, the Hebrew midwives, did not obey Pharaoh's decree to kill newborn Hebrew boys because they feared God more than the king. Their moral conviction and commitment to preserving life outweighed their obligation to follow orders that contradicted their ethical beliefs. By defying Pharaoh, they demonstrated courage and integrity, ultimately contributing to the survival of the Hebrew people. Their actions exemplify the importance of standing up against unjust authority.

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.
