15 And Pharaoh heard this talk, and he sought to kill Moses. But fleeing from his sight, he stayed in the land of Midian, and he sat down next to a well.
16 Now there was a priest of Midian with seven daughters, who came to draw water. And having filled the troughs, they desired to water their father's flocks.
17 The shepherds overcame them and drove them away. And Moses rose up, and defending the girls, he watered their sheep.
18 And when they had returned to their father, Reuel, he said to them, "Why have you arrived sooner than usual?"
19 They responded: "A man of Egypt freed us from the hands of the shepherds. Moreover, he also drew water with us and gave the sheep to drink."
20 But he said: "Where is he? Why have you dismissed the man? Call him, so that he may eat bread."
21 Therefore, Moses swore that he would live with him. And he accepted his daughter Zipporah as a wife.
