Exodus 2:19-25 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

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.
