midwives

See how you translated this in Exodus 1:15.

"Why have you let the male babies live?"

Pharaoh was actually rebuking the midwives for allowing the male children live. (See rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion).

"The Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women…"

The midwives answered wisely to appease Pharaoh's anger.
