2:18: And when they returned to Raguel their father, he said to them: Why are ye come sooner than usual?
Raguel… He had two names, being also called Jethro, as appears from the first verse of the following chapter.
2:19. They answered: A man of Egypt delivered us from the hands of the shepherds: and he drew water also with us, and gave the sheep to drink.
2:20. But he said: Where is he? why have you let the man go? call him that he may eat bread.
2:21. And Moses swore that he would dwell with him. And he took Sephora his daughter to wife:
2:22. And she bore him a son, whom he called Gersam, saying: I have been a stranger in a foreign country. And she bore another, whom he called Eliezer, saying: For the God of my father, my helper, hath delivered me out of the hand of Pharao.
Gersam… Or Gershom. This name signifies a stranger there: as Eliezer signifies the help of God.
2:23. Now after a long time the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel groaning, cried out because of the works: and their cry went up unto God from the works.
2:24. And he heard their groaning, and remembered the covenant which he made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
2:25. And the Lord looked upon the children of Israel, and he knew them.
