Exodus 2:16-18

New Century Version

Moses in Midian

¹⁶ There was a priest in Midian who had seven daughters. His daughters went to that well to get water to fill the water troughs for their father’s flock. ¹⁷ Some shepherds came and chased the girls away, but Moses defended the girls and watered their flock.

¹⁸ When they went back to their father Reuel,^[a] he asked them, “Why have you come home early today?”
