20 Reuel asked his daughters, “Where is he? Why did you leave the man there? Go, invite him to supper.”
21 Moses decided to stay with the man. So Reuel gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses as his wife. 22 She gave birth to a son. Moses named him Gershom [Foreigner], because he said, “I was a foreigner living in another country.”
