The reason that Moshe’s wife and children had still been in Midian is that when Moshe brought them with him from Midian to Egypt before the Exodus, his brother Aharon convinced him to send them back because of the ongoing hardship that the Jewish people in Egypt were experiencing.1 Some say that Moshe’s family did not accompany him to Egypt and that he had planned for them to join him only after the Exodus took place.2 When the verse (in the Torah portion of Shemot) says, “Moshe took his wife and sons, mounted them on a donkey, and went back to the land of Egypt,” it means that Moshe took his wife and children who had until then accompanied him in his travels with his flocks back to Midian on a donkey while he went alone to Egypt. The commentaries add18 that this is why the verse says about each of these sons ‫שֵ ם‬ ‫“ – ָהָֽ אֶ חָ ד‬the name of the one” – as it alludes to one son “belonging” to the mother’s side of the family and the other son “belonging” to the father’s side of the family. The commentaries offer several explanations:19 ● Saw the Potential The Ba’al HaTurim writes20 that Moshe agreed to Yitro’s condition as he sensed that by marrying Tziporah, he would be able to influence the entire family to convert which is what eventually happened.21 The commentaries add that Moshe was not technically obligated to circumcise his son or to educate him in the belief in one G-d as Tziporah had not yet converted and as such her children were not technically Jewish. Accordingly, the verse that says that G-d “sought to kill him” is referring to the baby rather than to Moshe 1 After He Sent Her Away/After He Sent for Her The Torah says that Yitro brought back Tziporah, the wife of Moshe, ‫ ָאַ חַ ר שִׁ ּלּוחֶ יה‬which is usually translated as “after she was sent away” and is referring to the fact that Moshe had sent her home when he got to Egypt. 7 Ohr HaChaim 8 Ba’al HaTurim 2 Order of the Names Moshe called his first son ‫ג ְַרשֹם‬/Gershom, alluding to the fact that he was a foreigner in a strange land (‫ ְגַר‬means “stranger” and ‫ שָ ם‬means “there”)
