Exodus 2:15-25

15When PharaohH6547 heardH8085 of thisH2088 matterH1697, he triedH1245 to killH2026 MosesH4872. But 1MosesH4872 fledH1272 from the presenceH6440 of PharaohH6547 and 2settledH3427 in the landH776 of MidianH4080, and he satH3427 downH3427 3by a wellH875.

16Now 4the priestH3548 of MidianH4080 had sevenH7651 daughtersH1323; and 5they cameH935 to drawH1802 waterH1802 and filledH4390 the troughsH7298 to waterH8248 their father’sH1 flockH6629. 17Then the shepherdsH7462 cameH935 and droveH1644 them awayH1644, but 6MosesH4872 stoodH6965 up and helpedH3467 them and wateredH8248 their flockH6629. 18When they cameH935 to 7ReuelH7467 their fatherH1, he saidH559, “WhyH4069 have you comeH935 back so soonH4116 todayH3117?” 19So they saidH559, “An EgyptianH4713 deliveredH5337 us from the handH3027 of the shepherdsH7462, and whatH1571 is moreH1571, he evenH1571 drewH1802 the waterH1802 for us and wateredH8248 the flockH6629.” 20He saidH559 to his daughtersH1323, “WhereH335 is he then? WhyH4100 is it that you have leftH5800 the manH376 behindH5800? InviteH7121 him 8to have somethingH3899 to eatH398.” 219MosesH4872 was willingH2974 to dwellH3427 with the manH376, and he gaveH5414 his daughterH1323 10ZipporahH6855 to MosesH4872. 22Then she gaveH3205 birthH3205 to 11a sonH1121, and he namedH7121H8034 him 12GershomH1647, for he saidH559, “I have beenH1961 13a 14sojournerH1616 in a foreignH5237 landH776.”

23Now it cameH1961 about in the course of thoseH1992 manyH7227 daysH3117 that the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 diedH4191. And the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 15sighedH584 becauseH4480 of the bondageH5656, and they criedH2199 out; and 16their cryH7775 for helpH7775 becauseH4480 of their bondageH5656 roseH5927 up to GodH430. 24So 17GodH430 heardH8085 their groaningH5009; and GodH430 rememberedH2142 18His covenantH1285 with AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and JacobH3290. 2519GodH430 sawH7200 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, and GodH430 20tookH3045 noticeH3045 of them.
