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.”+

12 Now Mirʹi·am and Aaron began to speak against Moses because of the Cushʹite wife he had married, for he had taken a Cushʹite wife.+
