Exodus 2:16-18

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁶ There was a priest in Midian who had seven daughters. Those seven young women came to get water out of the well. They used the water to fill the places where the animals drink. Then their father's sheep and goats could drink there. ¹⁷ But some shepherds then arrived at the well. They made the girls go away. So Moses stood up and he went to help the young women. He gave water to their animals.^[a]

¹⁸ Then the girls went back home to Reuel, their father. He asked them, ‘Why have you come home so soon today?’
