Exodus:2:16-25
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters :
and they came and drew water ,
and filled the troughs to water their father '
s flock .
*
And the shepherds came and drove them away :
but Moses stood up and helped them ,
and watered their flock .
*
And when they came to Reuel their father ,
he said ,
How is it that ye are come so soon to day ?
*
And they said ,
An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds ,
and also drew water enough for us ,
and watered the flock .
*
And he said unto his daughters ,
And where is he ?
why is it that ye have left the man ?
call him ,
that he may eat bread .
*
And Moses was content to dwell with the man :
and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter .
*
And she bare him a son ,
and he called his name Gershom :
for he said ,
I have been a stranger in a strange land .
*
And it came to pass in process of time ,
that the king of Egypt died :
and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage ,
and they cried ,
and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage .
*
And God heard their groaning ,
and God remembered his covenant with Abraham ,
with Isaac ,
and with Jacob .
*
And God looked upon the children of Israel ,
and God had respect unto them .
