Contextual Overview
16 the seven daughters of the priest of Midyan came to draw water. They had filled the troughs to water their father's sheep, 17 when the shepherds came and tried to drive them away. But Moshe got up and defended them; then he watered their sheep. 18 When they came to Re‘u'el their father, he said, "How come you're back so soon today?" 19 They answered, "An Egyptian rescued us from the shepherds; more than that, he drew water for us and watered the sheep." 20 He asked his daughters, "Where is he? Why did you leave the man there? Invite him to have something to eat." 21 Moshe was glad to stay on with the man, and he gave Moshe his daughter Tzipporah in marriage. 22 She gave birth to a son, and he named him Gershom [foreigner there], for he said, "I have been a foreigner in a foreign land."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And they said, an Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds,.... A man, who by his habit and by his speech appeared to them to be an Egyptian, and upon their inquiry he might tell them so, being born in Egypt, though of Hebrew parents:
and also drew water enough for us; or "in drawing drew" t; drew it readily, quickly and in abundance:
and watered the flock; by which means their business was done, and they returned home earlier than usual.
