Shiphrah and Puah

Name Date

Read the Story

After Joseph died, God's people kept growing. Their families got bigger and bigger. Then a new king ruled Egypt. He did not know Joseph.

The new king was afraid of God's people. He made them slaves. They had to make bricks and work hard all day. But God's people kept growing!

The king told two women named Shiphrah and Puah to hurt the baby boys. Shiphrah and Puah helped mothers have babies. They loved God, so they said no to the king. They kept the babies safe. God was good to them and gave them families.

Memory Verse

“But the midwives feared God, and didn’t do what the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the baby boys alive.”

Exodus 1:17 (WEB)
