Exodus 2:16-22
16Now 1the priestH3548 of MidianH4080 had sevenH7651 daughtersH1323; and 2they cameH935 to drawH1802 waterH1802 and filledH4390 the troughsH7298 to waterH8248 their father’sH1 flockH6629. 17Then the shepherdsH7462 cameH935 and droveH1644 them awayH1644, but 3MosesH4872 stoodH6965 up and helpedH3467 them and wateredH8248 their flockH6629. 18When they cameH935 to 4ReuelH7467 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 5to have somethingH3899 to eatH398.” 216MosesH4872 was willingH2974 to dwellH3427 with the manH376, and he gaveH5414 his daughterH1323 7ZipporahH6855 to MosesH4872. 22Then she gaveH3205 birthH3205 to 8a sonH1121, and he namedH7121H8034 him 9GershomH1647, for he saidH559, “I have beenH1961 10a 11sojournerH1616 in a foreignH5237 landH776.”
