Exodus 2:16-22 - Moses Marries Zipporah

16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters who came and drew water to fill the troughs to water their father's sheep. 17 But the pastors came and drove them away. Then Moses stood up and defended them and watered their sheep. 18 And when they returned unto Reuel, their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon today? 19 And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the pastors and also drew water enough for us and watered the sheep.

20 And he said unto his daughters, And where is he? Why is it that ye have left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread.

21 And Moses was content to dwell with the man; and he gave Moses Zipporah, his daughter. 22 And she gave birth to a son, and he called his name Gershon, for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.
