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, Exodus 20:13 , 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, Genesis 9:6 . Therefore they saved the male children of all to whose assistance they were called. See Clarke's note on Exodus 1:19 .
