Word of the Day - 3/18/2008

Parturition

Parturition is the process of bringing forth young.

Egytpian midwives refused to comply with the Pharaoh’s edict to kill all Israelite male children. When confronted, they informed him that Hebrew women were simply too vigorous when it came to parturition. (Exodus 1:19) The babies arrived before the midwives!
