16 And the priest of Madian had seven daughters, who came to draw water: and when the troughs were filled, desired to water their father's flocks.
17 And the shepherds came and drove them away: and Moses arose, and defending the maids, watered their sheep.
18 And when they returned to Raguel their father, he said to them: Why are ye come sooner than usual?
19 They answered: A man of Egypt delivered us from the hands of the shepherds: and he drew water also with us, and gave the sheep to drink.
20 But he said: Where is he? why have you let the man go? call him that he may eat bread.
21 And Moses swore that he would dwell with him. And he took Sephora his daughter to wife:
22 And she bore him a son, whom he called Gersam, saying: I have been a stranger in a foreign country. And she bore another, whom he called Eliezer, saying: For the God of my father, my helper hath delivered me out of the hand of Pharao.
