וַיִּ֧רֶב & וַיַּֽעַצְמ֖וּ מְאֹֽד

This phrase is more logically connected to the statements in verse 21. It describes the result of the midwives fearing God with a general statement.

1:1-22 The need for deliverance was obviously related to the Israelites’ condition (the Egyptians worked the people of Israel without mercy, 1:13); it also was related to promises God had made to the patriarchs years earlier. The Lord had promised Abraham that his descendants would be a great nation, living in freedom in the land of Canaan. At this point, Abraham’s descendants were slaves in Egypt under a pharaoh determined to decimate them as a people. God would have to rescue the people if his promises were to be kept.
