1599 Geneva Bible
2 Then Jethro the father-in-law of Moses, took Zipporah Moses’ wife, (after he had [a]sent her away)
3 And her two sons, (whereof the one was called (A)Gershom: for he said, I have been an alien in a strange land:
4 And the name of the other was Eliezer: for the God of my father, said he, was mine help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh).
