16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters. They came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock. 17 The shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and drew water for them, and watered their flock. 18 When they came to Reuel, their father, he said, |How is it that you have returned so early today?| 19 They said, |An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and moreover he drew water for us, and watered the flock.| 20 He said to his daughters, |Where is he? Why is it that you have left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread.| 21 And Moses was content to dwell with the man. And he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter in marriage. 22 She bore a son, and he named him Gershom, for he said, |I have lived as a foreigner in a foreign land.| Exodus 2:16-22, New Heart English Bible.
