《圣经》（新旧约全书）

北回归线

他左右观看，见没有人，就把埃及人打死了，藏在沙土里。
And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand

第二天他出去，见有两个希伯来人争斗，就对那欺负人的说，你为什么打你同族的人呢。
And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?

北回归线

那人说，谁立你作我们的首领和审判官呢，难道你要杀我，像杀那埃及人吗。摩西便惧怕，说，这事必是被人知道了。
And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known

法老听见这事，就想杀摩西，但摩西躲避法老，逃往米甸地居住。
Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well

一日，他在井旁坐下。米甸的祭司有七个女儿，她们来打水，打满了槽，要饮父亲的群羊。

And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock

And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock

他对女儿们说，那个人在哪里，你们为什么撇下他呢。你们去请他来吃饭。

And he said unto his daughters, And where is he? why is it that ye have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread

北回归线

摩西甘心和那人同住，那人把他的女儿西坡拉给摩西为妻。

And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter
