Exodus 2:15-22
1599 Geneva Bible
15 Now Pharaoh heard this matter, and sought to slay Moses: therefore Moses fled from Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian, and he sat down by a well.
16 And the [a]Priest of Midian had seven daughters, which came and drew water, and filled the troughs, for to water their father’s sheep.
17 Then the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses rose up, and [b]defended them, and watered their sheep.
18 And when they came to Reuel their [c]father, he said, How are ye come so soon today?
19 And they said, A man of Egypt delivered us from the hand of the shepherds, and also drew us water enough, and watered the sheep.
20 Then he said unto his daughters, And where is he? why have ye so left the man? [d]call him that he may eat bread.
21 And Moses agreed to dwell with the man: who gave unto Moses Zipporah his daughter:
22 And she bare a son, (A)whose name he called Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.
