Exodus 2:18-22

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁸ Then the girls went back home to Reuel, their father. He asked them, ‘Why have you come home so soon today?’ ¹⁹ They answered, ‘An Egyptian man saved us from the shepherds. He even took water from the well and he gave it to our animals.’ ²⁰ Reuel said to his daughters, ‘So where is the man? You should not have left him there. Ask him to come here so that he can eat a meal with us.’

²¹ Moses agreed to stay with Reuel. Reuel gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses as his wife. ²² Later, Zipporah gave birth to a son for Moses. Moses gave the boy the name ‘Gershom’. He called him that because he said, ‘I am living as a stranger in a foreign country.’^[a]
