Moses settles in Midian and marries Zipporah
At a well in Midian, Moses defended the seven daughters of Reuel and watered their flock. Reuel welcomed Moses into his home and gave him Zipporah as his wife. Their son Gershom was born while Moses lived as a foreigner in Midian (Exodus 2:16-22). Scripture gives no year for these events.
