Gershom

And she gave birth to a son, and Moses named him Gershom, saying, “I have become a foreigner in a foreign land.”

A mother hides her baby in a basket on the Nile. A princess pulls him out. The deliverer grows up in the house of the oppressor.

Now at a lodging place along the way, the LORD met Moses and was about to kill him. But Zipporah took a flint knife, cut off her son’s foreskin, and touched it to Moses’ feet. “Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me,” she said. So the LORD let him alone. (When she said, “bridegroom of blood,” she was referring to the circumcision.)

Moses offers every reason not to go. God answers every one — with a staff that becomes a snake, a hand that turns leprous, and a brother who can speak.

along with her two sons. One son was named Gershom, for Moses had said, “I have been a foreigner in a foreign land.”

Moses' father-in-law watches him working himself to death — and gives him the organizational wisdom that saves his leadership.

The Danites set up idols for themselves, and Jonathan son of Gershom, the son of Moses, and his sons were priests for the tribe of Dan until the day of the captivity of the land.

The tribe of Dan steals Micah's priest and idols on their way to conquer a peaceful city. Religion for hire, violence without conscience.
