2 Moseboken 18:2-4
nuBibeln (Swedish Contemporary Bible)
2 Då tog Jetro med sig Moses hustru Sippora som denne tidigare hade skickat hem 3 samt hennes två söner. Den förste sonen hade fått namnet Gershom[a], för Mose hade sagt: ”Jag är en främling i detta land.” 4 Den andre hade fått namnet Elieser ”Gud är min hjälp”, för Mose hade sagt: ”Min fars Gud kom till min hjälp och räddade mig undan faraos svärd.”

Exodus 18:2-4
Easy-to-Read Version
2 So Jethro went to Moses while Moses was camped near the mountain of God.[a] Jethro brought Moses’ wife, Zipporah, with him. (Zipporah was not with Moses, because Moses had sent her home.) 3 Jethro also brought Moses’ two sons with him. The first son was named Gershom,[b] because when he was born, Moses said, “I am a stranger in a foreign country.” 4 The other son was named Eliezer,[c] because when he was born, Moses said, “The God of my father helped me and saved me from the king of Egypt.”
