Exodus 2:16-22

There was a priest in Midian who had seven daughters. His daughters went to that well to get water to fill the water troughs for their father’s flock. Some shepherds came and chased the girls away, but Moses defended the girls and watered their flock. When they went back to their father Reuel, he asked them, “Why have you come home early today?” The girls answered, “The shepherds chased us away, but an Egyptian defended us. He got water for us and watered our flock.” He asked his daughters, “Where is this man? Why did you leave him? Invite him to eat with us.” Moses agreed to stay with Jethro, and he gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses to be his wife. Zipporah gave birth to a son. Moses named him Gershom, because Moses was a stranger in a land that was not his own.
