This dual identity also foreshadows the internal and external conflicts Moses would face as he embraced his role as a leader of the Hebrews. rescued us from the shepherds And also drew water enough.--The shepherds had consumed some of the maidens' water before Moses's interference, so that he had to draw more for them --another "little trait," which speaks for the Mosaic authorship.
