Shiphrah (personal name of a Hebrew midwife in Egypt)
Shiphrah was one of two Hebrew midwives named in Exodus 1:15 who defied Pharaoh's command to kill male Hebrew infants. Along with Puah, she courageously preserved life despite royal decree, fearing God more than the king. Her name may derive from the root meaning 'beauty' or 'brightness,' suggesting either physical attractiveness or the beauty of her character. The Greek Septuagint renders her name as Sepphora (though this differs from Zipporah, Moses' wife). These midwives' civil disobedience represents one of the Bible's earliest examples of righteous resistance to unjust authority.

1. sense 1 — All major translations simply transliterate the name as 'Shiphrah' or slight variants (Spanish Shifrah). The name occurs in the narrative context of Pharaoh's genocidal policy and the midwives' God-fearing refusal to comply, resulting in divine blessing upon their households. Shiphrah and Puah stand as heroes of the faith who risked their lives to preserve Israel's future generation. 1×
