Contextual Overview
16 There was a priest there who had seven daughters. These girls came to that well to get water for their father's sheep. They were trying to fill the water trough with water. 17 But there were some shepherds there who chased the girls away and would not let them get water. So Moses helped the girls and gave water to their animals. 18 Then they went back to their father, Reuel. He asked them, "Why have you come home early today?" 19 The girls answered, "The shepherds chased us away, but an Egyptian rescued us. He got water for us and gave it to our animals." 20 So Reuel said to his daughters, "Where is this man? Why did you leave him? Go invite him to eat with us." 21 Moses was happy to stay with that man. Reuel let Moses marry his daughter, Zipporah. 22 Zipporah became pregnant and had a son. Moses named him Gershom because Moses was a stranger in a land that was not his own.

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.
