Exodus 18:4-6

Contemporary English Version

^2-4 (A) In the meantime, Moses had sent his wife Zipporah and her two sons to stay with Jethro, and he had welcomed them. Moses was still a foreigner in Midian when his first son was born, and so Moses said, “I'll name him Gershom.”^[a]

When his second son was born, Moses said, “I'll name him Eliezer,^[b] because the God my father worshiped has saved me from the king of Egypt.”^[c]

^5-6 While Israel was camped in the desert near Mount Sinai,^[d] Jethro sent Moses this message: “I am coming to visit you, and I am bringing your wife and two sons.”
