Exodus 2:12-22

Rotherham(i) 12 So he turned this way and that, and, when he saw that there was no man, he smote the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand. 13 And he went out on the second day, and lo! two Hebrews, striving together,––so he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore shouldest thou smite thy fellow? 14 And he said––Who hath set thee for a chief and a judge over us? To slay me, art thou thinking, as thou didst slay the Egyptian? Then was Moses afraid, and said––Surely the thing is, known! 15 So Pharaoh heard this thing, and sought to slay Moses,––and Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian, and sat down by the well.
16 Now, the priest of Midian, had seven daughters,––and they came and drew, and filled the troughs, to water their fathers flock. 17 Then came the shepherds, and drave them away,––so Moses rose up, and succoured them, and watered their flock. 18 Then came they in, unto Reuel their father,––and he said, Wherefore have ye so early come in, today? 19 And they said, An Egyptian, delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds,––Moreover also he, drew, for us, and watered the flock. 20 And he said unto his daughters––And where is he? wherefore is it that ye left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread. 21 And Moses was well–pleased to dwell with the man,––and he gave Zipporah his daughter, to Moses. 22 And she bare a son, and he called his name, Gershom,––for he said, A, sojourner, I am, in a strange land.
