Exodus 2:22-24

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²² She bore a son, and he called his name Gershom; for he said, “I have been a sojourner^[a] in a foreign land.”

²³ In the course of those many days the king of Egypt died. And the people of Israel groaned under their bondage, and cried out for help, and their cry under bondage came up to God. ²⁴ And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
