Shiphrah and Puah are the midwives that disobeyed Pharaoh's order to kill all the sons born to Jews in Egypt. As noted by Rabbi Telushkin, these women may have committed the first recorded acts of Civil Disobedience. He further notes that the Torah provides the names of these two courageous women, and not the name of the Pharaoh whose murderous order was ignored.
Shiphrah and Puah were two Hebrew midwives in The Bible who defied Pharaoh's orders to kill all Hebrew baby boys at birth. They disobeyed the command and allowed the babies to live, showing courage and compassion. These actions helped save the lives of many Hebrew children.
In the Book of Exodus, Jethro's seven daughters are named Zipporah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, Noah, Mahlah, and Shiphrah. Jethro, also known as Reuel, was a Midianite priest and the father-in-law of Moses. These names are significant in the biblical narrative as they played a role in the story of Moses and his journey to lead the Israelites out of Egypt.
Egypt occupies a very large territory and any instruction to kill Hebrew babies would have to have been put in writing and distributed throughout the land, but no such written instruction has ever actually been found in Egypt, and in fact there is no record that even hints of the presence of the Israelites there, so we must rely on the biblical account. The Bible says that the pharaoh ordered all the new-born Israelite boys to be cast into the river. Since Moses lived to be 120 years old, he must have already been 80 years old when he led the Israelites out of Egypt. And we know that the Bible attributes his survival to the pharaohs daughter. This passage implicitly assures us that, apart from Moses, there could scarcely have been any Israelite males under eighty years old, although other passages do seem to contradict this.
They were appointed by Pharaoh.
They were the women who helped the Hebrew mothers during childbirth. It's from the Bible in Exodus; Exodus 1:15 and following. Their names were Shiphrah and Puah.
Puah was one of two named midwives of the Hebrews in Egypt. The midwives were ordered by the king of Egypt (Pharoah) to kill all the male infants of the Hebrews at birth. Puah and her colleague Shiphrah defied this command through trickery by saying that the Hebrew women are literally "beasts" (NRSV, "vigorous") who give birth before the midwives can get to them. She is credited for saving Israel by her courage. The king apparently believes her story because he does not punish them. She and Shiphrah are blessed by God with families of their own. This story can be found in Exodus 1:15-21.
They were Shifra and Puah, as recorded in the Torah (Exodus ch.2). Note that they weren't the only midwives. Rather, they were the most important and experienced, and served as mentors to the others who aren't named.
Judges 10:1-2 After Abimelech there arose... Tola the son of Puah, of the Tribe of Issachar; and he dwelt in...the hill-country of Ephraim. He judged Israel twenty-three years...See also:More about the Judges
The midwives of the Hebrews, Shipharah and Puah. They refused to kill babies, and God blessed them.
The Hebrew Bible mentions more than 2 midwives, but you are probably thinking of Shifra (שפרה) and Puah (פועה)
Tola was the son of Puah, from the tribe of Issachar. He lived in Shamir, in the region of Ephraim, and judged Israel for 23 years.(Judges 10:1, 2)
I think you may mean the women who are mentioned in Exodus 1:15 as midwives. Their names were:Shifrah (שִׁפְרָה)Puah (פּוּעָה)If you are asking what the Hebrew word for midwife is, it's meyaledet (מְיַלֶדֶת).
According to tradition, the midwives who spoke in Exodus ch.1 included the mother of Moses. (The names of Shifra and Puah are seen as poetic nicknames and not birth-names.) Aside from that, the mother of Moses is not quoted.
