Step back in time with Shifruh and Pooah, two extraordinary midwives who faced down the mighty Pharaoh and refused to be instruments of destruction. In the heart of ancient Egypt's captivity, they defied a genocidal decree, choosing courage over compliance. Their act of civil disobedience, immortalized in Exodus 1, not only spared countless lives but paved the way for their descendants to rise to prominence. Rewarded by Yahweh, their legacy became one of generational wealth, power, and influence, proving that standing against tyranny can shape destinies. These Bad [BLEEPS] of the Bible remind us that sometimes, defiance can birth extraordinary triumph.
