11And it came about in those days that Moses grew up and went out to his brothers and saw their burden, and he saw an Egyptian striking a Hebrew, one of his brothers.12He turned this way and that, and when he saw that there was no man, he struck the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.13The next day he went out, and behold, two Hebrew men were fighting; and he said to the wicked one, "Why are you striking your neighbor?"14And he said, "Who set you as a ruler and judge over us? Are you saying you will kill me as you killed the Egyptian?" Then Moses became afraid and said, "Surely the matter has become known."15When Pharaoh heard this matter, he sought to kill Moses; but Moses fled from Pharaoh's presence and settled in the land of Midian, and he sat down by the well.16Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters; they came and drew water and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.17Then the shepherds came and drove them away, but Moses rose up and rescued them and watered their flock.18When they came to their father Reuel, he said, "Why have you come home so quickly today?"19They said, "An Egyptian rescued us from the shepherds; he also drew water for us and watered the flock."20He said to his daughters, "Where is he? Why did you leave the man? Call him that he may eat food."21Moses was willing to dwell with the man, and the man gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses.22She bore a son, and he called his name Gershom, for he said, "I have been a sojourner in a foreign land."23And it came about in those many days that the king of Egypt died; and the sons of Israel groaned because of the service and cried out, and their cry rose up to God from the service.24God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.25God saw the sons of Israel, and God knew.
