Compare all
19 And they said, “An Egyptian delivered us from the hand of the shepherds, and he also drew enough water for us and watered the flock.”
20 So he said to his daughters, “And where is he? Why is it that you have left the man? Call him, that he may aeat bread.”  
21 Then Moses was content to live with the man, and he gave aZipporah his daughter to Moses.  
22 And she bore him a son. He called his name aGershom, for he said, “I have been ba stranger in a foreign land.”  
23 Now it happened ain the process of time that the king of Egypt died. Then the children of Israel bgroaned because of the bondage, and they cried out; and ctheir cry came up to God because of the bondage.

Exodus 2:21

Zipporah his daughter - Abul Farajius calls her "Saphura the black, daughter of Rewel the Midianite, the son of Dedan, the son of Abraham by his wife Keturah." The Targum calls her the granddaughter of Reuel. It appears that Moses obtained Zipporah something in the same way that Jacob obtained Rachel; namely, for the performance of certain Services, probably keeping of sheep: see Exodus 3:1.
