Exodus 2:18-25 ▼

18 And they come to their father Reuel, and he says, “Why have you hurried to come in today?”

19 And they say, “A man, an Egyptian, has delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and has also diligently drawn for us, and waters the flock”;

20 and he says to his daughters, “And where [is] he? Why [is] this [that] you left the man? Call for him, and he eats bread.”

21 And Moses is willing to dwell with the man, and he gives his daughter Zipporah to Moses,

22 and she bears a son, and he calls his name Gershom, for he said, “I have been a sojourner in a strange land.”

23 And it comes to pass during these many days, that the king of Egypt dies, and the sons of Israel sigh because of the service, and cry, and their cry goes up to God, because of the service;

24 and God hears their groaning, and God remembers His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob;

25 and God sees the sons of Israel, and God knows.
