16Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters; and they came and drew water and filled the troughs to give water to their father's flock to drink. 17Then the shepherds came and drove them away, but Moses rose up and saved them and gave water to their flock to drink. 18Then they came to Reuel their father, and he said, "Why have you come back so soon today?" 19So they said, "An Egyptian delivered us from the hand of the shepherds, and he actually even drew the water for us and gave water to the flock to drink." 20And he said to his daughters, "Where is he then? Why is it that you have left the man behind? Call him so that he may eat bread." 21And Moses was willing to settle down with the man, and he gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses. 22Then she gave birth to a son, and he named him Gershom, for he said, "I have been a sojourner 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.
