And
Pharao heard of it and went about to slay Moses: but he fled from
Pharao and dwelt in the land of Madian, and he sat down by a
well's side. The priest of Madian had seven daughters which came
and drew water and filled the troughs, for to water their father's
sheep. And the shepherds came and drove them away: But Moses stood
up and helped them and watered their sheep. And when they came to
Raguel their father, he said: how happeneth it that ye are come so
soon today? And they answered: there was an Egyptian that
delivered us from the shepherds, and so drew us water and watered
the sheep. And he said unto his daughters: where is he? why have
ye left the man? Go call him that he may eat bread. And Moses was
content to dwell with the man. And he gave Moses Zephora his
daughter which bare a son, and he called him Gerson: for he said.
I have been a stranger in a strange land. [And she bare yet
another son, whom he called Elieser saying: the God of my father
is mine helper, and hath rid me out of the hands of Pharao.] And
it chanced in process of time, that the king of Egypt died, and
the children of Israel sighed by the reason of labour, and cried.
And their complaint came up unto God from the labour.
