16The priest of Midian had seven daughters, and 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 stood up and saved them, and watered their flock.

18When they came to Reuel their father, he said, “Why have you come back so quickly today?”

19They said, “An Egyptian man rescued us from the hand of the shepherds, and he even drew water for us and watered the flock.”

20And he said to his daughters, “Then where is he? Why is it that you left the man? Call him, so that he may eat bread.”
