Gershom] Chap. 18. 3. The word signifieth a desolate stranger: and it was given (for the name of his sonne) for remembrace of Moses his estrangement from the land of his Nativitie, whence he was driven, and for admonition to others, (especially his sonne who bare that name) to mind them of their inheritance in the land of Canaan, where they were to expect a more permanent abode.
