Jesse Tree of Holy Women ~ Shiphrah & Puah

"Drop down dew ye heavens aboveand let the clouds rain the just one."

Isaiah 45: 8

"So God dealt well with the midwives, and the people multiplied and became very strong."
Exodus 1: 20

Shiphrah and Puah were Hebrew midwives in Egypt prior to the Exodus. God-fearing women and mothers themselves, they defied Pharaoh's orders to kill all male babies born to Hebrew women, enabling the Jews to increase in number. They may have delivered Moses (Woman Word by Miriam Therese Winter).
