When some shepherds came and drove them away, Moses came up and defended them and then watered their flock.

They said, “An Egyptian man rescued us from the shepherds, and he actually drew water for us and watered the flock!”

Now Moses was shepherding the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the desert and came to the mountain of God, to Horeb.

No one is to come up with you; do not let anyone be seen anywhere on the mountain; not even the flocks or the herds may graze in front of that mountain.”
