Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and
dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well.

daughters: and they came and drew
water,
and filled the troughs to water their father’s flock.
17

the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their
flock.

is it that
ye are come so soon to
