Who were Shifra and Puah?
I’ll give three answers:
1) Yocheved and Miriam.
2) Yocheved and Elisheva.
3) Two Egyptian women.
I wrote about this for my shul newsletter this week.
Daniel, excellent. We only mentioned 1) and 3).
I just asked my husband – he said 2) was a minor commentator’s opinion, and 1) won out.
Nice pop of color for your review…
