The Israelites were exceedingly fruitful: Exodus 1

Exodus 1:1~24
Now Joseph and all his brothers and all that generation died, but the Israelites were exceedingly fruitful; they multiplied greatly, increased in numbers and became so numerous that the land was filled with them.
Egyptians made their lives bitter with harsh labor in brick and mortar and with all kinds of work in the fields; in all their harsh labor the Egyptians worked them ruthlessly.
The midwives, however, feared God and did not do what the king of Egypt had told them to do; they let the boys live. 
Then Pharaoh gave this order to all his people: “Every Hebrew boy that is born you must throw into the Nile, but let every girl live.”
Why?
Pharaoh afraid Israelites became numerous may overcome them, so he treated Israelites more ruthlessly.
But God blesses Israelites, let them fruitful,but their life were more harder.
This is the background of Moses be give birth.
How?
God is the Lord, God has his plan and chose his people to do his work.
