EXODUS | 1:19 vigorous — EXOD22 Did God disapprove of the midwives' lies? ...

EXOD22 Did God disapprove of the midwives' lies? Definitely not. The next verse informs us that "God dealt well with the midwives… And He established households for them" Exodus 1:20-21. Like Samuel I Samuel 16:1-3, Shifra and Puah had reason to fear that if they told Pharaoh the truth, he would execute them. These episodes yield important and still relevant lessons, among them being that we do not owe the truth to persecutors, and we do not have to accept martyrdom when it can be avoided.
