Exod

The assumption that Yahweh is derived from the verb “to be”, as seems to be implied in Exod.iii. 14 seq., is not free from difficulty.

In the Bible, a Hebrew woman with the same name, Shiphra, was one of two midwives the Pharaoh commissioned to kill all the male Hebrew children at the time Moses was born Exod.

Contrary to the impression that her one stanza sung at the sea (Exod 15: 1 – 18) is but an abridgement of the lengthy song attributed to Moses (Exod 5: 1 – 31), historical and literary studies show that the latter version is itself the Song of Miriam.

She may be Zipporah, the known wife of Moses (Exod 2: 21, 18: 2), or another woman.

It is noteworthy that Exod 1: 1 – 2 in its highly schematic survey of Hebrew history from the descent of Jacob into Egypt until the birth of Moses, mentions by name only the midwives Shiphrah and Puah.

Puah: Bible. 2009

The Hebrew text of Exod 1: 15 supports either the view that Puah and Shiphrah were “Hebrew midwives” or the view that they were “midwives to the Hebrews.”

Puah: Bible. 2009

It may refer to the African country of Cush (see Gen 10: 6; 1 Chr 1: 8) or to Midian, the region east of the Gulf of Aqabah from which Zipporah came (see Exod 3: 1, 18: 1; Hab 3: 7).

Miriam: Bible. 2009

The Hebrew term for “birth stool” in Exod 1: 16, obnayim, means literally “two stones.”

Puah: Bible. 2009

She first appears by name, however, in the crossing of the Red Sea (Exod 15: 20 – 21).
