Éxodo 18:4 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 18:4

And the name of the other was Eliezer
Who seems to be his second son, and was that which was circumcised by Zipporah at the inn, and about which there was such a stir, ( Exodus 4:24-26 ) , and signifies "my God [is] help", or, his helper:

for the God of my father, [said he], was mine help, and delivered me
from the sword of Pharaoh;
who, on hearing that Moses had killed an Egyptian, was wroth with him, and sought to slay him; and perhaps drew his sword for that purpose, but was prevented: however, this, in all human probability, would have been the case, that he would have fallen by his sword either in a private or public manner, had it not been for the interposition of divine Providence, and therefore he gave this name to his child, to be a standing memorial of it.

Éxodo 18:4 In-Context

2 Anteriormente, Mois茅s hab铆a enviado a su esposa S茅fora y a sus dos hijos de regreso a casa de Jetro, y 茅l los hab铆a hospedado.
3 (El primer hijo de Mois茅s se llamaba Gers贸n, porque cuando el ni帽o naci贸, Mois茅s dijo: 芦He sido un extranjero en tierra extra帽a禄.
4 A su segundo hijo lo llam贸 Eliezer, porque dijo: 芦El Dios de mis antepasados me ayud贸 y me rescat贸 de la espada del fara贸n禄).
5 As铆 que Jetro, el suegro de Mois茅s, fue a visitarlo al desierto y llev贸 consigo a la esposa y a los dos hijos de Mois茅s. Llegaron cuando Mois茅s y el pueblo acampaban cerca del monte de Dios.
6 Jetro le hab铆a enviado un mensaje a Mois茅s para avisarle: 芦Yo, tu suegro, Jetro, vengo a verte, junto con tu esposa y tus dos hijos禄.
