2. Mosebok 18,4

EliezerPharaoh

2 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.»

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.

6 Og han sendte en melding til Moses: «Jeg, din svigerfar Jetro, kommer til deg med din kone og hennes to sønner.»
