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.

I wrote this right before I wrote the abuse post, so it wasn't up as long as usual before I had a new post. Friday was crazy. Writing a review of an already too busy week was easily the first thing to drop.
