16 Now the ^gpriest of Midian had seven daughters, and ^hthey came and drew water and filled the troughs to water their father’s flock. 17 The shepherds came and drove them away, but Moses stood up and saved them, and ⁱwatered their flock. 18 When they came home to their father ^jReuel, he said, “How is it that you have come home so soon today?” 19 They said, “An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds and even drew water for us and ⁱwatered the flock.” 20 He said to his daughters, “Then where is he? Why have you left the man? Call him, that he may ^keat bread.” 21 And Moses was content to dwell with the man, and he gave Moses his daughter ^lZipporah. 22 She gave birth to a son, and he called his name ^mGershom, for he said, “I have been a ⁿsojourner¹ in a foreign land.”
