Exodus 2:14-25
-
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.
-
23 And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.
-
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 had respect unto them.
