Meet Puah.
A midwife protecting life.
Who was Puah?
Puah was one of the midwives named in Exodus. Along with Shiphrah, she refused Pharaoh's command to kill Hebrew baby boys. The account remembers both women by name.
The midwives protected life despite a powerful ruler's demand. Their story is about courageous adult resistance, not a requirement for children to face dangerous people alone.
