Exodus 18:3
The name of one was Gershom - A stranger, designing thereby not only a memorial of his own condition, but a memorandum to this son of his, for we are all strangers upon earth.
Jethro’s Advice
1 And aJethro, the priest of Midian, Moses’ father-in-law, heard of all that bGod had done for Moses and for Israel His people—that the Lord had brought Israel out of Egypt.
2 Then Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, took aZipporah, Moses’ wife, after he had sent her back,
3 with her atwo sons, of whom the name of one was1 Gershom (for he said, b“I have been a stranger in a foreign land”)
4 and the name of the other was1 Eliezer (for he said, “The God of my father was my ahelp, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh”);
5 and Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife to Moses in the wilderness, where he was encamped at athe mountain of God.
6 Now he had said to Moses, “I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you with your wife and her two sons with her.”
