The marriage of Moses and Zipporah produced a son, who was named Gershom. The name Gershom had what meaning relevant to his situation?

Gershom's name highlighted the problem the Israelites faced - that they were foreigners living in a foreign land. While they lived in Egypt, they did not belong there. God wanted to return them to the Promised Land some day. Gershom was born into those circumstances- hence, his name.
