PHARAOH DECREES THE DEATH OF EVERY HEBREW SON

Exodus 1:15 And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah:

Exodus 1:16 And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live.

Exodus 1:22 And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born you shall cast into the river and every daughter ye shall save alive.
