In the context of the Bible, Puah is one of the Hebrew midwives mentioned in the Book of Exodus. The name is associated with the act of midwifery and the courage to defy the Pharaoh's orders.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, names often held significant meanings and were sometimes indicative of a person's character or role. The midwives, including Puah, played a crucial role in the survival of the Hebrew people during their time in Egypt. The Pharaoh had ordered the killing of all newborn Hebrew boys, but Puah, along with Shiphrah, feared God and chose to save the infants, demonstrating faith and bravery.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an Isr. midwife<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Puah (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">מּוּעָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>a midwife</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/exodus/1-15.htm">Exodus 1:15</a>, <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Φουα</font>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Puah <p>From an unused root meaning to glitter; brilliancy; Puah, an Israelitess -- Puah. <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>פּוּעָֽה׃ פועה׃ pū‘āh pū·‘āh puAh<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/exodus/1-15.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Exodus 1:15</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/exodus/1.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">וְשֵׁ֥ם הַשֵּׁנִ֖ית <b> פּוּעָֽה׃ </b> </span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/exodus/1.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> and the other was named <span class="itali">Puah;</span><br><a href="/kjvs/exodus/1.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> and the name of the other <span class="itali">Puah:</span><br><a href="/interlinear/exodus/1-15.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> was named and the other <span class="itali">Puah</span><p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6326.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6326.htm">Strong's Hebrew 6326<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/puah_6326.htm">pū·‘āh — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/6325.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="6325"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="6325" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/6327.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="6327"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="6327" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
