18 And when they came to Reuel their father, he said to them, How is it that you have watered the flock so soon today? 19 And they said to him, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hands of the shepherds and also drew water for us and watered our flock. 20 And he said to his daughters, And where is he? Why is it that you have left the man? Go, invite him, that he may eat bread. 21 And Moses was content to dwell with the man; and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter. 22 And she bore a son, and he called his name Gershon; for Moses said, I have been a stranger in a strange land. And she bore again, the second son to Moses, and he called his name Eleazar, saying, For the God of my fathers has helped me and has delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh. 23 And it came to pass after a long time that the king of Egypt died; and the children of Israel groaned because of severe oppression, and they prayed, and their cry came up to God because of severe oppression. 24 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. 25 And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God noticed their oppression.
