2. Mosebok 18,2
1 Nå hørte Jetro, presten i Midjan og Moses' svigerfar, om alt det Gud hadde gjort for Moses og for sitt folk Israel, og hvordan Herren hadde ført Israel ut av Egypt.
Jetro, Moses' svigerfar, hadde tatt imot Moses' kone Sippora, etter at Moses hadde sendt henne bort,
3 sammen med hennes to sønner. Den ene hette Gersom, for Moses hadde sagt: «Jeg har vært en fremmed i et fremmed land.»
4 Den andre hette Elieser, for han hadde sagt: «Min fars Gud var min hjelp og reddet meg fra faraos sverd.»
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
