INTRODUCTION

When the Lord spoke to me and told me to write this book, I was initially planning to name it The Midwife. However, as I began to read and study about the midwife, I came across a scripture that referred to the office of the midwife. I thought to myself, This is an office? This discovery was very intriguing to me because I am a dreamer, and I often wondered if there were other offices I might not be aware of in the Bible. I even pondered if being a dreamer was one of them. So, in light of this revelation, I wanted to introduce the Office of the Midwife to some. Our foundational scripture for the office of the midwife can be found in Exodus 1:16 in the KJV.

16 and he said: 'When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, ye shall look upon the birthstool: if it be a son, then ye shall kill him; but if it be a daughter, then she shall live.

In Hebrew, the word office of the midwife is bə·yal·leḏ·ḵen.

Usually, when the Bible references the concept of birthing or giving birth, it uses the Hebrew term yaled, which means to beget. However, this is the only instance in the Bible where the word bə·yal·leḏ·ḵen is used, and in its medical context, it refers to the role of a midwife.

According to Authorized Version 1611, the term office is defined as:

A particular duty, charge, or trust conferred by public authority and for a public purpose; an employment undertaken by commission or authority from the government or those who administer it. Thus, we speak of the office of secretary of state, of treasurer, of a judge, of a sheriff, of a justice of the peace, &c. Offices are civil, judicial, ministerial, executive, legislative, political, municipal, diplomatic, military, & ecclesiastical [1]

In the government of God, we are very familiar with the 5-fold officers, which are the apostles, prophets, pastors, evangelists, and teachers. However, we can see from our foundational scripture that other offices exist.

For this role to be considered an office, it must be conferred either politically or ministerially. Conferred means to grant or bestow (a title, degree, benefit, or right). In the case of the most common occurrence of midwives in the Bible, such as Suphrah and Puah, this role was conferred by the priest. However, it could also be politically conferred outside of
