Listen to Éxodo 2:18
18 Cuando ellas volvieron a Reuel, su padre, él dijo: ¿Por qué habéis vuelto tan pronto hoy?

Éxodo 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.

Éxodo 2:18 In-Context

16 Y el sacerdote de Madián tenía siete hijas, las cuales fueron a sacar agua y llenaron las pilas para dar de beber al rebaño de su padre.
17 Entonces vinieron unos pastores y las echaron de allí, pero Moisés se levantó y las defendió, y dio de beber a su rebaño.
18 Cuando ellas volvieron a Reuel, su padre, él dijo: ¿Por qué habéis vuelto tan pronto hoy?
19 Respondieron ellas: Un egipcio nos ha librado de la mano de los pastores; y además, nos sacó agua y dio de beber al rebaño.
20 Y él dijo a sus hijas: ¿Y dónde está? ¿Por qué habéis dejado al hombre? Invitadlo a que coma algo.
