There were two of this name—Pua, son of lssachar, Genesis 46:13; and Pua, the father of Tola, Judges 10:1.
PUAH. One of the midwives of Egypt. The name is derived from Pahah, meaning to groan or cry. The honourable testimony given of this woman, as well as Shiphrah, see Exodus 1:15-22; and the houses said to be built for them is rather to be taken figuratively, that the Lord built up their households. And as they had endeavoured, in defiance of the king's command, to save Israel's children, the Lord saved to them theirs.
