Êxodo 2:20 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 2:20

And he said unto his daughters, and where is he?
&c.] By the account Reuel's daughters gave of Moses, of his courage and humanity, he was very desirous of seeing him:

why [is it] that ye have left the man?
behind them at the well, and had not brought him along with them; he seemed to be displeased, and chides them, and tacitly suggests that they were rude and ungrateful not to ask a stranger, and one that had been so kind to them, to come with them and refresh himself:

call him, that he may eat bread;
take meat with them, bread being put for all provisions.

Êxodo 2:20 In-Context

18 Quando as moças voltaram a seu pai Reuel, este lhes perguntou: “Por que voltaram tão cedo hoje?”
19 Elas responderam: “Um egípcio defendeu-nos dos pastores e ainda tirou água do poço para nós e deu de beber ao rebanho”.
20 “Onde está ele?”, perguntou o pai a elas. “Por que o deixaram lá? Convidem-no para comer conosco”.
21 Moisés aceitou e concordou também em morar na casa daquele homem; este lhe deu por mulher sua filha Zípora.
22 Ela deu à luz um menino, a quem Moisés deu o nome de Gérson, dizendo: “Sou imigrante em terra estrangeira”.
