Exodus 2:11-25 - Moses In Midian

11 And it will be in these days, and Moses will become great, and he will go forth to his brethren, and he will see their burdens: and he will see a man, an Egyptian, smiting a man, a Hebrew, from his brethren. 12 And he will turn hither and thither, and will see that there is no man, and he will smite the Egyptian, and hide him in the sand. 13 And he will go forth in the second day, and behold, two men, Hebrews, (paneling; and he will say to the unjust one, For what wilt thou smite thy friend?

14 And he will say, Who set thee for a chief man and judge over us? dost thou think to kill me as thou didst kill the Egyptian? and Moses will be afraid, and will say, Surely, this word was known. 15 And Pharaoh will hear this word, and he will seek to kill Moses. And Moses will flee from the face of Pharaoh, and he will dwell in the land of Midian: and he will sit down by the well.

16 And to the priest of Midian, seven daughters: and they will come and will draw and fill the watering troughs to water the sheep of their father. 17 And the shepherds will come, and will expel them: and Moses will rise up and help them, and will water their sheep. 18 And they will come to Reuel their father, and he will say, Wherefore hastened ye to come this day? 19 And they will say, A man, an Egyptian, delivered us from the hand of the shepherds, and also drawing, drew for us, and watered the sleep.

20 And he will say to his daughters, Where is he? for what this left ye the man? call to him and he shall eat bread.

21 And Moses will be contented to dwell with the man, and he will give Zipporah his daughter to Moses. 22 And she will bear a son, and he will call his name Gershom; for he said, I was a sojourner in a strange land.

23 And it will be in these many days, and the king of Egypt will die: and the sons of Israel will groan, from the work; and they will cry out, and their supplication will go up to God from the work. 24 And God will hear their groaning, and God will remember his covenant with Abraham, with Isaak and with Jacob. 25 And God will see the sons of Israel, and God will know.
