22Later, Zipporah gave birth to a son for Moses. Moses gave the boy the name ‘Gershom’. He called him that because he said, ‘I am living as a stranger in a foreign country.’2:22 In the Hebrew language, ‘Gershom’ sounds like the word for ‘stranger’. Moses remembered that he belonged to the Israelite people. He did not belong to Egypt or to Midian.
