2 | shiphra and puah midwifery for today | Exodus | prayon | 19134 | ||
At that time Pharaoh was very worried about the Isrealites multiplying in miraclous numbers because he was worried that in any future war since the Isrealites numbered more than the Egyptians they would join the other side and fight against Egypt. His first plan was to put slave masters over them to oppress them. This did not work. So he decided that he would have all the male children killed. He told the Hebrew midwives to kill all the male babies at birth. These 2 women risked their lives going against Pharaohs orders and not killing the babies. That must of taken great courage! Pharaoh was a mighty man. They risked their lives by blantantly lying to Pharaoh about the babies being born before they could get there. They were motivated by the fear of God. Because of their great motivation God rewarded them. Shiphra and Puah can be an example to us today. We can use their example of courage. We should stand for right and go against that which is wrong even if it means giving we might loose our lives. We can also remember that when we do God will bless us abundently as he did Shiphra and Puah. prayon |
