New Testament

Exodus 2:15-20 Modern English Version (MEV)

15. Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the presence of Pharaoh and settled in the land of Midian, and he dwelled by a well.

16. Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters, and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father’s flock.

17. Then shepherds came and drove them away, but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.

18. When they came to Reuel their father, he said, “Why is it you have come back so soon today?”

19. And they said, “An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds and also drew water for us and watered the flock.”

20. He said to his daughters, “So where is he? Why is it that you have left the man? Call him so that he may eat bread.”
