Exodus 2:16-20

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 upH6965 and helpedH3467 them and wateredH8248 their flockH6629.

18When they cameH935 to their fatherH1 4ReuelH7467, he saidH559, “WhyH4069 have you comeH935 back so soonH4116 todayH3117?”

19They saidH559, “An EgyptianH4713 savedH5337 us from 5the shepherdsH7462, and whatH1571 isH1571 moreH1571, he evenH1802 drewH1802 waterH1802 for us and wateredH8248 the flockH6629.”

20So he saidH559 to his daughtersH1323, “WhereH335 is he then? WhyH4100 is it that you have leftH5800 the manH376 behindH5800? InviteH7121 him 6to have somethingH3899 to eatH398.”
