Final Review:

Puah and Shiprah, two midwives, were commanded to do the opposite of their calling. To destroy a new life. Pharaoh tried to use them for his own personal gain. Their faith in God allowed them to be an instrument in saving the male Hebrew babies. They also showed great courage in speaking with Pharaoh. By following God’s will, they were used in a mighty way, and God blessed them both abundantly.
