Chp. 2 verse 16 - chp. 3 verse 10: Moshe goes to Midian and there by the well he mets Yisro's daughters. He marries Zipporah and she bears him a son. The king of Egypt dies, the Jews cry out, and Hashem remembers them. Chp. three begins with Moshe tending the sheep of Yisro in the wilderness. Hashem appears to him in the burning bush. Hashem tells Moshe that He is ready to free His people from bondage and to bring them to the land of Canaan, and that Moshe would be His messenger.
