13. And going out the next day, he spotted two Hebrews quarrelling violently. And he said to him who was causing the injury, "Why do you strike your neighbor?"
14. But he responded: "Who appointed you as leader and judge over us? Do you want to kill me, just as yesterday you killed the Egyptian?" Moses was afraid, and he said, "How has this word become known?"
15. And Pharaoh heard this talk, and he sought to kill Moses. But fleeing from his sight, he stayed in the land of Midian, and he sat down next to a well.
16. Now there was a priest of Midian with seven daughters, who came to draw water. And having filled the troughs, they desired to water their father's flocks.
17. The shepherds overcame them and drove them away. And Moses rose up, and defending the girls, he watered their sheep.
18. And when they had returned to their father, Reuel, he said to them, "Why have you arrived sooner than usual?"
19. They responded: "A man of Egypt freed us from the hands of the shepherds. Moreover, he also drew water with us and gave the sheep to drink."
20. But he said: "Where is he? Why have you dismissed the man? Call him, so that he may eat bread."
21. Therefore, Moses swore that he would live with him. And he accepted his daughter Zipporah as a wife.
22. And she bore a son to him, whom he called Gershom, saying, "I have been a newcomer in a foreign land." In truth, she bore another, whom he called Eliezer, saying, "For the God of my father, my helper, has rescued me from the hand of Pharaoh."
23. In truth, after a long time, the king of Egypt was dead. And the sons of Israel, groaning, cried out because of the works. And their cry ascended to God from the works.
24. And he heard their groaning, and he also remembered the covenant which he formed with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
25. And the Lord looked with favor on the sons of Israel, and he knew them.
