Exodus 2:16-22

Exodus 2:16-22

[16] Now the priest  of Midian  had seven  daughters:  and they came  and drew  water, and filled  the troughs  to water  their father's  flock.  [17] And the shepherds  came  and drove them away:  but Moses  stood up  and helped  them, and watered  their flock.  [18] And when they came  to Reuel  their father,  he said,  How  is it that ye are come  so soon  to day?  [19] And they said,  An Egyptian  delivered  us out of the hand  of the shepherds,  and also drew  for us, and watered  the flock.  [20] And he said  unto his daughters,  And where is he? why is it that ye have left  the man?  call  him, that he may eat  bread.  [21] And Moses  was content  to dwell  with the man:  and he gave  Moses  Zipporah  his daughter.  [22] And she bare  him a son,  and he called  his name  Gershom:  for he said,  I have been a stranger  in a strange  land.
