Exodus 2:16-22

16Now the priestH3548 of MidianH4080 had sevenH7651 daughtersH1323, and they cameH935 to draw waterH1802 and fillH4390 the troughsH7298 to waterH8248 their father’sH1 flockH6629. 17And when some shepherdsH7462 came alongH935 and drove them awayH1644, MosesH4872 rose upH6965 to help themH3467 and wateredH8248 their flockH6629.

18When the daughters returnedH935 toH413 their fatherH1 ReuelH7467,1 he asked themH559, “WhyH4069 have you returnedH935 so earlyH4116 todayH3117?”

19“An EgyptianH4713 rescued usH5337 fromH3027 the shepherdsH7462,” they repliedH559H376. “He evenH1571 drew waterH1802 for us and wateredH8248 the flockH6629.”

20“So where is heH335?” their father askedH559H413H1323. “WhyH4100H2088 did you leave the manH376 behindH5800? InviteH7121 him to have something to eatH398H3899.”

21MosesH4872 agreedH2974 to stayH3427 withH854 the manH376, and he gaveH5414 his daughterH1323 ZipporahH6855 to Moses in marriageH4872. 22And she gave birth toH3205 a sonH1121, and Moses named himH7121H853H8034 GershomH1647,2 sayingH559, “I have becomeH1961 a foreignerH1616 in a foreignH5237 landH776.”
