Exodus 2:14-25

New Revised Standard w/ Apocrypha NRSA

14 He answered, "Who made you a ruler and judge over us? Do you mean to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?" Then Moses was afraid and thought, "Surely the thing is known."

15 When Pharaoh heard of it, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from Pharaoh. He settled in the land of Midian, and sat down by a well.

16 The priest of Midian had seven daughters. They came to draw water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.

17 But some shepherds came and drove them away. Moses got up and came to their defense and watered their flock.

18 When they returned to their father Reuel, he said, "How is it that you have come back so soon today?"

19 They said, "An Egyptian helped us against the shepherds; he even drew water for us and watered the flock."

20 He said to his daughters, "Where is he? Why did you leave the man? Invite him to break bread."

21 Moses agreed to stay with the man, and he gave Moses his daughter Zipporah in marriage.

22 She bore a son, and he named him Gershom; for he said, "I have been an alien residing in a foreign land."

23 After a long time the king of Egypt died. The Israelites groaned under their slavery, and cried out. Out of the slavery their cry for help rose up to God.

24 God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

25 God looked upon the Israelites, and God took notice of them.

New International Version NIV

14 The man said, “Who made you ruler and judge over us? Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses was afraid and thought, “What I did must have become known.”

15 When Pharaoh heard of this, he tried to kill Moses, but Moses fled from Pharaoh and went to live in Midian, where he sat down by a well.

16 Now a priest of Midian had seven daughters, and they came to draw water and fill the troughs to water their father’s flock.

17 Some shepherds came along and drove them away, but Moses got up and came to their rescue and watered their flock.

18 When the girls returned to Reuel their father, he asked them, “Why have you returned so early today?”

19 They answered, “An Egyptian rescued us from the shepherds. He even drew water for us and watered the flock.”

20 “And where is he?” Reuel asked his daughters. “Why did you leave him? Invite him to have something to eat.”

21 Moses agreed to stay with the man, who gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses in marriage.

22 Zipporah gave birth to a son, and Moses named him Gershom, saying, “I have become a foreigner in a foreign land.”

23 During that long period, the king of Egypt died. The Israelites groaned in their slavery and cried out, and their cry for help because of their slavery went up to God.

24 God heard their groaning and he remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac and with Jacob.

25 So God looked on the Israelites and was concerned about them.
