2. Mosebok 18,3

Gershom

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.

2 Jetro, Moses' svigerfar, hadde tatt imot Moses' kone Sippora, etter at Moses hadde sendt henne bort,

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.»

5 Jetro, Moses' svigerfar, kom med Moses' sønner og kone til ham i ørkenen, hvor han var leiret ved Guds fjell.
