The answer is: At a well in the land of Midian

Exo 2:15-16

Moses' story has a cinematic flair! He meets his future wife, Zipporah, at a well, a scenario loaded with significance. Wells in ancient cultures weren't just about water; they were social hubs and often sites of romantic encounters. You may recall Isaac meeting Rebekah at a well too (Genesis 24)! The well represents life's sustenance, community, and often the beginnings of new relationships.

When Moses fled Egypt to Midian, he left behind the world full of conflict, but at the well, he finds kindness and connection instead of the harshness of his past. In Exodus 2:15-16, we see Moses step into a much gentler phase of his life when he helps the daughters of Jethro, the priest of Midian. Interestingly, Jethro wasn’t just a priest of a foreign culture; he was a Midianite, considered by some scholars to be a descendant of Abraham and Keturah, directly linking Moses to a lineage rich in diverse faiths.

Also, think about Moses as a shepherd after fleeing Egypt—this ties him further to his prophetic future! Just as a shepherd cares for a herd, he would later guide an entire nation. How poetic that the future liberator found his life partner, bringing together love and leadership, at a simple well of life. This intersection of family and community shows how ordinary moments can herald extraordinary futures!
