SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:17
Mas las parteras temieron a Dios, y no hicieron como les mandó el rey de Egipto, y daban la vida a los niños.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Exodus 1:17
Verse 17. The midwives feared God] Because they knew that God had forbidden murder of every kind; for though the law was not yet given, chap. xx. 13, being Hebrews they must have known that God had from the beginning declared, Whosoever sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed, Gen. ix. 6. Therefore they saved the male children of all to whose assistance they were called. See the note on "Exodus i. 19".
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 15-22 - The Egyptians tried to destroy Israel by the murder of their children The enmity that is in the seed of the serpent, against the Seed of the woman, makes men forget all pity. It is plain that the Hebrews were no under an uncommon blessing. And we see that the services done for God' Israel are often repaid in kind. Pharaoh gave orders to drown all the male children of the Hebrews. The enemy who, by Pharaoh, attempted to destroy the church in this its infant state, is busy to stifle the ris of serious reflections in the heart of man. Let those who would escape be afraid of sinning, and cry directly and fervently to the Lord for assistance __________________________________________________________________
