Exodus 2:11-22
-
11 And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren.
-
12 And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
-
13 And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?
-
14 And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known.
-
15 Now 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.
-
16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
-
17 And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
-
18 And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to day?
-
19 And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock.
-
20 And 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.
-
21 And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
-
22 And she bare him a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.
