Commentary on Acts 7:29
Moses' flight to Midian marks a crucial transition from self-confident Egyptian prince to humble shepherd. The term 'stranger' (Greek paroikos, sojourner) became Moses' identity - he named his son Gershom meaning 'stranger there.' Reformed theology sees God's providence in this exile: Moses needed to become a stranger and sojourner to identify with Israel's condition and to learn dependence on God alone. His two sons represented both his alien status (Gershom) and God's help (Eliezer).
