Exodus 2:16-20

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ And the priest of Madian had seven daughters, who came to draw water: and when the troughs were filled, desired to water their father's flocks.

¹⁷ And the shepherds came and drove them away: and Moses arose, and defending the maids, watered their sheep.

¹⁸ And when they returned to Raguel their father, he said to them: Why are ye come sooner than usual?

¹⁹ They answered: A man of Egypt delivered us from the hands of the shepherds: and he drew water also with us, and gave the sheep to drink.

²⁰ But he said: Where is he? why have you let the man go? call him that he may eat bread.
