15 Then Pharʹaoh heard about it, and he attempted to kill Moses; but Moses ran away from Pharʹaoh and went to dwell in the land of Midʹi·an,+ and he sat down by a well.

21 After that Moses consented to stay with the man, and he gave his daughter Zip·poʹrah+ to Moses in marriage. 22 Later she bore a son, and he named him Gerʹshom,*+ for he said, “I have become a foreign resident in a foreign land.”+

2 Jethʹro, Moses’ father-in-law, had taken in Zip·poʹrah, Moses’ wife, when she was sent back to him, 3 along with her two sons.+ One son was named Gerʹshom,*+ because Moses said, “I have become a foreign resident in a foreign land,” 4 and the other was named E·li·eʹzer,* because he said, “The God of my father is my helper, who rescued me from Pharʹaoh’s sword.”+
