1 Moses’ father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian, heard about everything God had done for Moses and his people Israel and how the Lord had brought Israel out of Egypt.
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.”
