Exodus 2:16–23

16 sNow the priest of Midian had seven daughters. tAnd they came and drew water, and they filled the utroughs to water their father’s flock. 17 Then the vshepherds came and wdrove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and xwatered their flock.

18 When they came to yReuel 3their father, zhe said, “How is it that you have come so soon today?”

19 And they said, “An Egyptian delivered us from the hand of the shepherds, and he also drew enough water for us and watered the flock.”

20 So he said to his daughters, “And where is he? Why is it that you have left the man? Call him, that he may aeat bread.”

21 Then Moses was content to live with the man, and he gave bZipporah his daughter to Moses. 22 And she bore him a son. He called his name cGershom, 4for he said, “I have been da 5stranger in a foreign land.”

23 Now it happened ein the process of time that the king of Egypt died. Then the children of Israel fgroaned because of the bondage, and they cried out; and gtheir cry came up to God because of the bondage.
