Exodus 2:22-24

Expanded Bible

²² She gave birth to a son. Moses named him Gershom [^Csounds like “stranger/resident alien there” in Hebrew], because Moses was a stranger in a ·land that was not his own [foreign land].

²³ After a long time, the king of Egypt died. The people of Israel groaned, because ·they were forced to work very hard [of their work/slavery]. ·When they cried for help, God heard them [^LTheir plea for help rose up to God because of their work/slavery]. ²⁴ God heard their ·cries [groaning], and he remembered ·the agreement he had made [his covenant] with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob [Gen. 12:1–3].
