Eliezer was Moses and Zipporah's second son. His name means "God is help" in Hebrew.

| “ | The name of the (other) son was Eliezer, because 'My father's God (Eli) was my helper (ezer), rescuing me from Pharaoh's sword. | ” |
Both Gershom and Eliezer were born during the time Moses had taken refuge in Midian and had married Jethro's daughter Zipporah.
