Acts 7:29

²Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, received Zipporah, Moses’ wife, after he had sent her away, ³and her two sons. The name of one son was Gershom,^[+] for Moses said, “I have lived as a foreigner in a foreign land”. ⁴The name of the other was Eliezer,^[+] for he said, “My father’s God was my help and delivered me from Pharaoh’s sword.”

¹⁹The LORD said to Moses in Midian, “Go, return into Egypt; for all the men who sought your life are dead.”

²⁰Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them on a donkey, and he returned to the land of Egypt. Moses took God’s rod in his hand.

¹⁴He said, “Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you plan to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian?” Moses was afraid, and said, “Surely this thing is known.”

¹⁵Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and lived in the land of Midian, and he sat down by a well.

¹⁶Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters. They came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father’s flock. ¹⁷The shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock. ¹⁸When they came to Reuel, their father, he said, “How is it that you have returned so early today?”

¹⁹They said, “An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and moreover he drew water for us, and watered the flock.”

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

²¹Moses was content to dwell with the man. He gave Moses Zipporah, his daughter. ²²She bore a son, and he named him Gershom,^[+] for he said, “I have lived as a foreigner in a foreign land.”
