15 When Pharaoh found out, he tried to have Moses killed, but Moses ran away from Pharaoh and went to live in Midian.

One day as he was sitting by a well, 16 and the Midianite priest's seven daughters came to fetch water to fill up the troughs so their father's flock could drink.17 Some shepherds arrived and chased them off, but Moses intervened and rescued them, and watered their flock.

18 When they got home, their father Reuel asked them, “How did you get back so quickly today?”

19 “An Egyptian rescued us from some shepherds who attacked us,” they replied. “Then he even fetched water for us so the flock could drink.”

20 “So where is he?” Reuel asked his daughter. “You didn't just leave him there, did you? Go and invite him to eat with us!”

21 Moses agreed to stay with the man, who arranged for his daughter Zipporah to marry Moses.22 She had a son, and Moses named him Gershom, for he said, “I'm an exile living in a foreign country.”
