SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:20
Y Dios hizo bien a las parteras; y el pueblo se multiplicó, y se fortaleció en gran manera.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Exodus 1:20
Verse 20. Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.] This shows an especial providence and blessing of God; for though in all cases where females are kept to hard labour they have comparatively easy and safe travail, yet in a state of slavery the increase is generally very small, as the children die for want of proper nursing, the women, through their labour, being obliged to neglect their offspring; so that in the slave countries the stock is obliged to be recruited by foreign imports: yet in the case above it was not so; there was not one barren among their tribes, and even their women, though constantly obliged to perform their daily tasks, were neither rendered unfruitful by it, nor taken off by premature death through the violence and continuance of their labour, when even in the delicate situation mentioned above.
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 __________________________________________________________________
