Exodus 2:19-24 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

19. They answered, "An Egyptian saved us from the shepherds. He even got water for us and gave it to the flock."

20. "Where is he?" he asked his daughters. "Why did you leave him? Invite him to have something to eat."

21. Moses agreed to stay with the man. And the man gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses to be his wife.

22. Zipporah had a son by him. Moses named him Gershom. Moses said, "I'm an outsider in a strange land."

23. After a long time, the king of Egypt died. The people of Israel groaned because they were slaves. They also cried out to God. Their cry for help went up to him.

24. God heard their groans. He remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
