18 When the daughters returned to their father Reuel, he asked them, “Why have you returned so early today?”

20 “So where is he?” their father asked. “Why did you leave the man behind? Invite him to have something to eat.”

21 Moses agreed to stay with the man, and he gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses in marriage.
