There were women called midwives that had experience in helping other women in giving childbirth - Exodus 1:15 - Later the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives whose names were Shiphrah and Puah, - - - -
Exodus 1:20 & 21 - 20 So God dealt well with the midwives, and the people kept increasing and becoming very mighty. 21 And because the midwives had feared the true God, he later gave them families. - - - - It is good that you ask such questions to further your Scriptural knowledge. Please note that God wants you to have an accurate knowledge of the truth - 1 Timothy 2:4 – whose (God’s) will is that all sorts of people should be saved and come to an accurate knowledge of truth. - - - - And that Scripture also shows that taking in accurate knowledge leads to salvation. Like Jesus' words here - John 17:3 - This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ. - - - - However, the Bible does warn us about some that will twist the Scriptures - 2 Peter 3:16. . . and these things the ignorant and unstable are twisting, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction. - - - - So, we have this Scriptural advice from God's word to protect us from being misled by those that would twist the Scriptures - Acts 17:11 . . . carefully examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so. - - - - So we should always examine the Scriptures carefully to make sure we are getting accurate knowledge that leads to salvation. And Jesus' words tell us clearly that God's word, the Holy Scriptures, are the truth - John 17:17 - Sanctify them by means of the truth; your word is truth. - - - - There is no greater treasure to be found. Bible truth liberates us from superstition, confusion, and morbid fear. It gives us hope, purpose, and joy. Jesus said: “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”—John 8:32. - - - - Yes, Jesus assures us that we can KNOW the truth. And that truth from God's word will set us free from being misled by those that would twist the Scriptures.
