The other son was named Eliezer
Eliezer, meaning "God is my help," reflects Moses' personal experience of divine assistance. Naming in biblical times often carried significant meaning, reflecting circumstances or prophetic insights. Eliezer's name serves as a testament to God's providence in Moses' life, particularly during his flight from Egypt. This naming also highlights the importance of remembering God's past faithfulness, a recurring theme in Israel's history.

for Moses had said
This phrase indicates that the naming of Eliezer was intentional and based on Moses' own testimony. It underscores the personal nature of Moses' relationship with God and his acknowledgment of God's intervention in his life. Moses' statement serves as a reminder of the importance of personal witness and testimony in the faith journey.

The God of my father was my helper
This phrase connects Moses to the patriarchal faith, emphasizing continuity with the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It highlights the covenantal relationship that God maintained with Moses' ancestors and now with Moses himself. The term "helper" is significant, as it denotes God's active role in providing aid and support, a theme that resonates throughout the Old Testament.

and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh
This refers to Moses' escape from Egypt after killing an Egyptian taskmaster, as recorded inExodus 2:15. The "sword of Pharaoh" symbolizes the threat of death and the oppressive power of Egypt. God's deliverance of Moses prefigures the later deliverance of the Israelites from Egyptian bondage. This act of deliverance is a type of Christ's ultimate deliverance of humanity from sin and death, showcasing God's power to save and protect His chosen ones.

Teaching Points
God as Our Helper
Just as Moses named his son Eliezer to commemorate God's help, we should remember and acknowledge God's assistance in our lives. Reflect on times when God has been your helper and deliverer.

The Power of Names
Names in the Bible often carry significant meaning and reflect God's work in a person's life. Consider how you can use names or symbols in your life to remember God's faithfulness.

Deliverance from Oppression
Moses' deliverance from Pharaoh's sword is a powerful reminder of God's ability to rescue us from seemingly insurmountable challenges. Trust in God's power to deliver you from your own "Pharaohs."

Faith in God's Promises
Moses' faith in God's promises is evident in his naming of Eliezer. Strengthen your faith by recalling God's promises and how He has fulfilled them in your life.

Legacy of Faith
Moses' naming of his son serves as a legacy of faith for future generations. Consider how you can leave a legacy of faith for your family and community.

What Does Exodus 18:4 Mean
The other son was named Eliezer

• Moses’ family story is preserved in two sons: Gershom (“I have been a foreigner,”Exodus 2:22) and Eliezer (“My God is help”).

• Naming a child after God’s help fixed a testimony in every introduction of that boy’s life, echoingPsalm 124:8 “Our help is in the name of the Lord.”

• This act mirrors patriarchal patterns—e.g., Isaac’s altar “The Lord Will Provide” (Genesis 22:14)—where names become memorial stones.

for Moses had said

• Moses personally explains the name; it is not hearsay. LikeJoshua 4:6-7, verbal testimony accompanies a physical reminder so later generations grasp God’s work.

•Deuteronomy 6:20-21 shows the same pattern: when children ask “What do these testimonies mean?” parents recount God’s mighty acts.

“The God of my father was my helper

• Moses ties present deliverance to the covenant God of his ancestors (Exodus 3:6). The faith of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is not a relic but an active lifeline.

• “Helper” highlights God’s ongoing, hands-on aid.Psalm 46:1 calls Him “a very present help in trouble,” andHebrews 13:6 repeats, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.”

• Moses echoes earlier songs of redemption—seeExodus 15:2 “The Lord is my strength and my song, and He has become my salvation.”

and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh.”

• God protected Moses twice from Pharaoh:

– As an infant from decree of death (Exodus 2:3-10).

– As a fugitive when Pharaoh sought to kill him (Exodus 2:15; cf.Exodus 4:19).

• Later, the entire nation experienced that same rescue when “Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore” (Exodus 14:30-31).

•2 Corinthians 1:10 captures the pattern: “He has delivered us… He will deliver us again.” God’s past rescue fuels present confidence.

summary

Exodus 18:4 shows Moses planting a living testimony in his son’s name. By calling the boy Eliezer, he forever links his family story to the faithful God of his fathers, the God who stepped in as Helper and Shield against Pharaoh’s sword. The verse invites every reader to remember, retell, and rely on that same delivering Lord.

(4)Eliezer.--Eliezer is supposed to have been the boy whom Zipporah circumcised in the wilderness (Exodus 4:25). He grew to manhood, and had a son, Rehabiah (1Chronicles 23:17), whose descendants were in the time of David very numerous (1Chronicles 23:17; and comp.1Chronicles 26:25-26). It is uncertain whether Moses gave him his name before parting from him, in allusion to his escape from the Pharaoh who "sought to slay him" (Exodus 2:15), or first named him on occasion of receiving him back, in allusion to his recent escape from the host which had been destroyed in the Red Sea.

Verse 4. -Eliezer. Eliezer had not been previously mentioned by name; but he was probably the son circumcised by Zipporah, as related in ch. 4:25. We learn from1 Chronicles 23:15-17, that he grew to manhood, and had an only son, Rehabiah, whose descendants were in the time of Solomon very numerous.For the God of my father, said he, was my help. Eliezer means literally, "My God (is my) help." It would seem that Zipporah, when she circumcised her infant son, omitted to name him; but Moses, before dismissing her, supplied the omission, calling him Eliezer, because God had been his help against the Pharaoh who had sought his life (Exodus 2:15), and of whose death he had recently had intelligence (Exodus 4:19). Thus the names of the two sons expressed respectively, the despondency natural to an exile, and the exultant gratitude of one who had just learned that by God's goodness, the term of his banishment was over.
