📚 Historical Context
After fleeing Egypt for killing an Egyptian taskmaster, Moses sought refuge in the land of Midian, where he encountered the priest of Midian and his daughters at a well. The priest, known as Reuel or Jethro, showed hospitality by inviting Moses to live with him, and as a cultural practice of alliance and family integration, he arranged for Moses to marry his daughter Zipporah. This event marked a period of stability for Moses, allowing him to adapt to a new life before God called him back to his destiny with the Israelites.
