Exodus1:21
21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses .
(i. e.) God greatly increased their Families both in children and posterity, and in wealth and other outward blessings. So this phrase is used Gen. 30. 30. Deut. 25. 9. 1 Sam. 2. 35. 1 King. 2. 24. and 11. 38. Psal. 127. 1. As houses are commonly put for families, so building is put for procreating of children, Gen. 16. 2. and 30. 3.
