Êxodo 2:18 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 2:18

And when they came to Reuel their father
Or Ragouel, as the Septuagint; and so Artapanus F19 calls him. The Targum of Jonathan has it, their father's father; and so Aben Ezra says he was; and is the sense of others, induced thereto by ( Numbers 10:29 ) , but it does not follow from thence: he said,

how is it that you are come so soon today?
it being not only sooner than they were wont to come, but perhaps their business was done in so short a time; that it was marvellous to him that it could be done in it, so quick a dispatch had Moses made, and they through his assistance; and especially it might be more strange, if it was usual, as it seems it was, to be molested by the shepherds.

Êxodo 2:18 In-Context

16 O sacerdote de Midiã tinha sete filhas, as quais vieram tirar água, e encheram os tanques para dar de beber ao rebanho de seu pai.
17 Então vieram os pastores, e as expulsaram dali; Moisés, porém, levantou-se e as defendeu, e deu de beber ao rebanho delas.
18 Quando elas voltaram a Reuel, seu pai, este lhes perguntou: como é que hoje voltastes tão cedo?
19 Responderam elas: um egípcio nos livrou da mão dos pastores; e ainda tirou água para nós e deu de beber ao rebanho.
20 E ele perguntou a suas filhas: Onde está ele; por que deixastes lá o homem? chamai-o para que coma pão.
