Exodus 2:17-19

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁷ But some shepherds came and drove them away. Moses got up and came to their defence 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.’
