Exodus 2:22-24
New King James Version
22 And she bore him a son. He called his name (A)Gershom,[a] for he said, “I have been (B)a [b]stranger in a foreign land.”
23 Now it happened (C)in the process of time that the king of Egypt died. Then the children of Israel (D)groaned because of the bondage, and they cried out; and (E)their cry came up to God because of the bondage. 24 So God (F)heard their groaning, and God (G)remembered His (H)covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.

Exodus 2:22-24
New International Version
22 Zipporah gave birth to a son, and Moses named him Gershom,[a](A) saying, “I have become a foreigner(B) in a foreign land.”
23 During that long period,(C) the king of Egypt died.(D) The Israelites groaned in their slavery(E) and cried out, and their cry(F) for help because of their slavery went up to God. 24 God heard their groaning and he remembered(G) his covenant(H) with Abraham, with Isaac and with Jacob.
