While Moses was in Midian he saw seven women giving water to their father’s sheep. Other shepherds came to the same area and tried to make the women leave so they could water their own flock. Moses, however, defended the ladies and helped them with the sheep. The women were very grateful for what Moses did. When they returned home, Jethro, their father, asked, “How is it that ye are come so soon today?” After his daughters explained what Moses had done for them he of course wanted to meet such a nice young man. He then asked his daughters to invite Moses to their home.
