Exodus 2:18-22
Holman Christian Standard Bible
18 When they returned to their father Reuel[a](A) he asked, “Why have you come back so quickly today?”
19 They answered, “An Egyptian rescued us from the shepherds. He even drew water for us and watered the flock.”
20 “So where is he?” he asked his daughters. “Why then did you leave the man behind? Invite him to eat dinner.”
21 Moses agreed to stay with the man, and he gave his daughter Zipporah(B) to Moses in marriage. 22 She gave birth to a son whom he named Gershom, for he said, “I have been a foreigner(C) in a foreign land.”[b]
