18When they came to Reuel, their father, he said, "How is it that you have returned so early today?"
19They said, "An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and moreover he drew water for us, and watered the flock."
20He said to his daughters, "Where is he? Why is it that you have left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread."
21Moses was content to dwell with the man. He gave Moses Zipporah, his daughter.
22She bore a son, and he named him Gershom, for he said, "I have been a sojourner in a foreign land."
23It happened in the course of those many days, that the king of Egypt died, and the children of Israel sighed because of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up to God because of the bondage.
24God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
