Exodus 2:22-24
New Century Version
22 Zipporah gave birth to a son. Moses named him Gershom,[a] because Moses was a stranger in a land that was not his own.
23 After a long time, the king of Egypt died. The people of Israel groaned, because they were forced to work very hard. When they cried for help, God heard them. 24 God heard their cries, and he remembered the agreement he had made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
