18:3 and her two sons. The name of the [first] one was Gershom, because [Moses] had declared, 'I was a foreigner (ger) in a strange land.'
Ve'et shney vaneyha asher shem ha'echad Gershom ki amar ger hayiti be'erets nochryah.
18:4 The name of the [other] one was Eliezer, because, 'My father's God (El) was my Helper (Ezer), rescuing me from Pharaoh's sword.'
