Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 19. - An Egyptian. Reuel's daughters judged by the outward appearance. Moses wore the garb and probably spoke the language of Egypt. He had had no occasion to reveal to them his real nationality. Drew water enough for us. The shepherds had consumed some of the water drawn by the maidens, before Moses could drive them off. He supplied the deficiency by drawing more for them - an act of polite attention.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(19) An Egyptian.--So they concluded from his dress and appearance, perhaps even from his speech. It would be natural for them to make the mistake, and for Moses to remember it. Any other author would probably have said, "a man," or "a stranger."And also drew water enough.--The shepherds had consumed some of the maidens' water before Moses's interference, so that he had to draw more for them --another "little trait," which speaks for the Mosaic authorship.
