Exodus 2:21-23

Common English Bible

²¹ Moses agreed to come and live with the man, who gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses as his wife. ²² She gave birth to a son, and Moses named him Gershom, “because,” he said, “I’ve been an immigrant^[a] living in a foreign land.”

²³ A long time passed, and the Egyptian king died. The Israelites were still groaning because of their hard work. They cried out, and their cry to be rescued from the hard work rose up to God.
