MEDITATION
Exodus 2:21-25
21 Then Moses was content to live with the man, and he gave Zipporah his daughter to Moses.
22 And she bore him a son. He called his name Gershom, for he said, “I have been a stranger in a foreign land.”
23 Now it happened in the process of time that the king of Egypt died. Then the children of Israel groaned because of the bondage, and they cried out; and their cry came up to God because of the bondage.
24 So God heard their groaning, and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
25 And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God acknowledged them.

沉思
《出埃及记 2:21-25》
21摩西甘心和那人同住，那人把他的女儿西坡拉给摩西为妻。
22西坡拉生了一个儿子，摩西给他起名叫革舜，意思说：“因我在外邦做了寄居的。”
23过了多年，埃及王死了。以色列人因做苦工，就叹息哀求，他们的哀声达于神。
24神听见他们的哀声，就记念他与亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各所立的约。25神看顾以色列人，也知道他们的苦情。
