Who Were Shiphrah and Puah in the Bible?

In the midst of a difficult time for the Hebrews in Egypt, God rose up two unexpected heroes – midwives Shiphrah and Puah.

The king called in the two women and told them that when they were on the birthstool, if they saw that the baby was a son, they should kill him, but if it was a daughter, she could live. It was an order, but these women were god-fearing women in the business of bringing life, not destroying it. They ignored his command.
