Pharoah sought to assert control over the Israelites by exerting power over their lives, even at the cost of innocent children. When he was informed that one of the male children would grow up to overthrow him, he ordered the killing of all newborn Israelite males in order to prevent the prediction from occurring.
However, few midwives chose to defy Pharaoh’s orders and let the boys live.
The story highlights the tension between human authority and moral conscience.
Today, a similar story is being played in Pakistan where Asim Muneer's authority is being challenged by PTI and he has decreed to vanish them - by abduction, kidnapping, torture, ransacking their houses and businesses, and putting them behind bars in fictitious cases with help from the courts.
The story of Pharoah serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of standing up against injustice, even when faced with powerful opposition.

(To clarify so that naive minds may not interpret differently,
this is the story of defiance by the midwives
against the immoral orders of a tyrant ruler.)
