Moses in Midian

16

And to a priest of Midian are seven daughters, and they come and draw, and fill the troughs, to water the flock of their father,

17

and the shepherds come and drive them away, and Moses ariseth, and saveth them, and watereth their flock.

18

And they come in to Reuel their father, and he saith, `Wherefore have ye hastened to come in to-day?'

19

and they say, `A man, an Egyptian, hath delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also hath diligently drawn for us, and watereth the flock;'

20

and he saith unto his daughters, `And where is he? why is this? --ye left the man! call for him, and he doth eat bread.'

21

And Moses is willing to dwell with the man, and he giveth Zipporah his daughter to Moses,

22

and she beareth a son, and he calleth his name Gershom, for he said, `A sojourner I have been in a strange land.'
