Exodus 18:2-6

2When Moses had sent away his wife Zipporah, his father-in-law Jethro had taken her in,

3along with her two sons. The one son was named Gershom [Foreigner], because Moses said, “I was a foreigner living in another country.”

4The 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.”

5Moses’ father-in-law Jethro brought Moses’ sons and wife to Moses in the desert where he was camped near the mountain of God.

6Jethro had sent word to Moses, “I’m coming to ⌞visit⌟ you, ⌞and I’m bringing⌟ your wife and her two sons.”
