when the shepherds came and tried to drive them away. But Moshe got up and defended them; then he watered their sheep.

When they came to Re'u'el their father, he said, "How come you're back so soon today?"

They answered, "An Egyptian rescued us from the shepherds; more than that, he drew water for us and watered the sheep."

He asked his daughters, "Where is he? Why did you leave the man there? Invite him to have something to eat."

Moshe was glad to stay on with the man, and he gave Moshe his daughter Tzipporah in marriage.

She gave birth to a son, and he named him Gershom [foreigner there], for he said, "I have been a foreigner in a foreign land."

had not Tzipporah taken a flintstone and cut off the foreskin of her son. She threw it at his feet, saying, "What a bloody bridegroom you are for me!"

But then, God let Moshe be. She added, "A bloody bridegroom because of the circumcision!"

After Moshe had sent away his wife Tzipporah and her two sons, Yitro Moshe's father-in-law had taken them back.

The name of the one son was Gershom [a foreigner there], for Moshe had said, "I have been a foreigner in a foreign land."

The name of the other was Eli'ezer [my God helps], "because the God of my father helped me by rescuing me from Pharaoh's sword."

Yitro Moshe's father-in-law brought Moshe's sons and wife to him in the desert where he was encamped, at the mountain of God.
