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.
24 So God aheard their groaning, and God bremembered His ccovenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.

Exodus
Exodus
EXODUS, a "going forth," derives its name from its being occupied principally with a relation of the departure of the Israelites from Egypt, and the incidents that immediately preceded as well as followed that memorable migration. Its authorship by Moses is distinctly asserted by himself (Exodus 24:4), as well as by our Lord (Mark 12:26; Luke 20:37). Besides, the thorough knowledge it exhibits of the institutions and usages of the ancient Egyptians and the minute geographical details of the journey to Sinai, establish in the clearest manner the authenticity of this book.
