² When Moses had sent away his wife Zipporah, his father-in-law Jethro had taken her in, ³ along with her two sons. The one son was named Gershom [Foreigner], because Moses said, “I was a foreigner living in another country.” ⁴ The name of the other was Eliezer [My God Is a Helper], because he said, “My father’s God was my helper. He saved me from Pharaoh’s death sentence.”
