HH: The women are not mentioned as the only worthy Hebrews or decent 
Egyptians. Perhaps you mean that they are the only worthy or decent 
ones mentioned, but the reason they are mentioned is due to the 
circumstances of the narrative. The attempt to murder the Israelite 
children was a key issue in the history of its stay in Egypt.
