THE HOLY BIBLE Authorized King James

Exodus (Author Moses)

2:15Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well.

2:16Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.

2:17And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.

2:18And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to day?

2:19And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock.

2:20And 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.

2:21And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.

2:22And she bare him a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.
