Editing Moshe Rabbeinu (section)

== Significant Period in Midian ==
He spent a significant period of his life in Midian, where he arrived after killing the Mitzri who was striking a Jewish man and burying him in the sand. The next day, seeing two Jews fighting, and from their response to his rebuke, he realized that his killing of the Mitzri had become known. Moshe feared that Paroh would hear about it and seek to kill him, so he fled to Midian. There, seeing Yisro's daughters (the Kohen of Midian) being driven away by shepherds at the well, he saved them and watered their flock. As a result, Moshe was received with royal honors by Yisro, who gave him his daughter Tziporah as a wife.

Moshe had two sons: Gershom (named because "I was a stranger in a foreign land") and Eliezer (named because "the G-d of my father came to my aid and saved me from Paroh's sword").
