Аннотация:The story of the midwives of the Hebrew, told in Ex 1,15-22, is a text which has had a little reception in the Holy Scripture and the old andmodern commentaries. This article wants to be a contribution to the biblical studies offering a narratological analysis and exegesis of it. So, it tries to highlight the heroic act of Shiprah and Puah on their fight against the Pharaoh’s oppression and the defence of life.
