Çocuklar için açıklama

Imagine you moved to a new city where you didn't know anyone. You might feel like a stranger, right? Moses felt this way, so he named his son Gershom, which means 'stranger.' It's like naming your pet after how you feel!

Tarihsel arka plan

The book of Exodus was likely written by Moses around 1440 BC. The audience was the Israelites, and this verse reflects the cultural setting where Moses and his family lived in Midian for many years, far from their homeland.
