Exodus 2:22 in Context — Exodus 2

20 Et il dit à ses filles: Où est-il? Pourquoi avez-vous laissé cet homme? Appelez-le, pour qu’il prenne quelque nourriture.

21 Moïse se décida à demeurer chez cet homme, qui lui donna pour femme Séphora, sa fille.

22 Elle enfanta un fils, qu’il appela du nom de Guerschom, car, dit-il, j’habite un pays étranger.

23 Longtemps après, le roi d’Égypte mourut, et les enfants d’Israël gémissaient encore sous la servitude, et poussaient des cris. Ces cris, que leur arrachait la servitude, montèrent jusqu’à Dieu.

24 Dieu entendit leurs gémissements, et se souvint de son alliance avec Abraham, Isaac et Jacob.
