A whole bevy of women choose to creatively subvert the powers of death, risking their own lives, for the sake of choosing life. Shiprah and Puah - the midwives who bravely deliver life in defiance of the king, Jochabed - the mother and master basket-weaver who becomes a nursemaid to her own child, a sister protectrix who craftily executes a brilliant family-saving plan, a daughter of a king who says yes to the babe before her, inextricably weaving her life with those whom her empire oppresses. This is the birth of a baby and the birth of a people who will, together, stand on holy ground in God’s life-giving, liberating, power-subverting presence.
