Exodus 18:3-7 God's Word Translation (GW)

3. along with her two sons. The one son was named Gershom [Foreigner], because Moses said, “I was a foreigner living in another country.”

4. The name of the other was Eliezer [My God Is a Helper], because he said, “My father’s God was my helper. He saved me from Pharaoh’s death sentence.”

5. Moses’ father-in-law Jethro brought Moses’ sons and wife to Moses in the desert where he was camped near the mountain of God.

6. Jethro had sent word to Moses, “I’m coming to ⌊visit⌋ you, ⌊and I’m bringing⌋ your wife and her two sons.”

7. So Moses went out to meet his father-in-law. Moses bowed with his face touching the ground and kissed Jethro. After they asked each other how they were, they went into the tent.
