11In those days after Moses was grown up, he went out to his brethren: and saw their affliction, and an Egyptian striking one of the Hebrews his brethren.

    12And when he had looked about this way and that way, and saw no one there, he slew the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.

    13And going out the next day, he saw two Hebrews quarreling: and he said to him that did the wrong: Why strikest thou thy neighbour?

    14But he answered: Who hath appointed thee prince and judge over us: wilt thou kill me, as thou didst yesterday kill the Egyptian? Moses feared, and said: How is this come to be known ?

    15And Pharao heard of this word and sought to kill Moses: but he fled from his sight, and abode in the land of Madian, and he sat down by a well.

    16And the priest of Madian had seven daughters, who came to draw water: and when the troughs were filled, desired to water their father's flocks.

    17And the shepherds came and drove them away: and Moses arose, and defending the maids, watered their sheep.

    18And when they returned to Raguel their father, he said to them: Why are ye come sooner than usual?

    19They answered: A man of Egypt delivered us from the hands of the shepherds: and he drew water also with us, and gave the sheep to drink.

    20But he said: Where is he? why have you let the man go? call him that he may eat bread.

    21And Moses swore that he would dwell with him. And he took Sephora his daughter to wife:

    22And she bore him a son, whom he called Gersam, saying: I have been a stranger in a foreign country. And she bore another, whom he called Eliezer, saying: For the God of my father, my helper hath delivered me out of the hand of Pharao.

    23Now after a long time the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel groaning, cried out because of the works: and their cry went up unto God from the works.

    24And he heard their groaning, and remembered the covenant which he made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

    25And the Lord looked upon the children of Israel, and he knew them.
