So Pharaoh heard this thing, and sought to slay Moses, - and Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian and sat down by the well.

Now, the priest of Midian, had seven daughters, - and they came and drew and filled the troughs, to water their fathers flock.

Then came the shepherds, and drave them away, - so Moses rose up, and succoured them, and watered their flock,

Then came they in unto Reuel their father, - and he said, Wherefore have ye so early come in to-day?

And they said, An Egyptian, delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, - Moreover also he drew, for us, and watered the flock.

And he said unto his daughters - And where is he? wherefore is it that ye left the man? Call him that he may eat bread.

And Moses was well-pleased to dwell with the man, - and he gave Zipporah his daughter to Moses.

And she bare a son, and he called his name Gershom, - for he said, A, sojourner, I am, in a strange land.
