Moses in Midian

¹⁶ There was a priest in Midian who had seven daughters. His daughters went to that well to get water for their father’s sheep. They were trying to fill the water troughs for their father’s sheep. ¹⁷ But some shepherds came and chased the girls away. Then Moses defended the girls and watered their sheep.
