Ramban on Exodus 18:3/רמב"ן על שמות י״ח:ג׳
אוְאֵת שְׁנֵי בָנֶיהָ אֲשֶׁר שֵׁם הָאֶחָד גֵּרְשֹׁם אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁאֵין זֶה מְקוֹם מוֹלַדְתָּם יְפָרֵשׁ שֵׁם הַבָּנִים, כִּי לֹא הָיָה מָקוֹם לְהַזְכִּיר שֵׁם אֱלִיעֶזֶר בְּהִוָּלְדוֹ כַּאֲשֶׁר פֵּרַשְׁתִּי בְּסֵדֶר וְאֵלֶּה שְׁמוֹת (ד כ). וּבְכָאן רָצָה לְהַזְכִּיר הַחֶסֶד שֶׁעָשָׂה הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא לְמֹשֶׁה, שֶׁהָיָה גֵּר בְּאֶרֶץ נָכְרִיָּה, וְנוֹתֵן שָׁם הוֹדָאָה לַשֵּׁם שֶׁהִצִּילוֹ מֵחֶרֶב פַּרְעֹה בְּבָרְחוֹ, וְעַתָּה הוּא מֶלֶךְ עַל יִשְׂרָאֵל וְהִטְבִּיעַ פַּרְעֹה וְעַמּוֹ בַּיָּם. וְטַעַם כִּי אָמַר, נִמְשָׁךְ לְמֹשֶׁה הַנִּזְכָּר בַּפָּסוּק הָרִאשׁוֹן, וְכֵן שֵׁם הָאֶחָד אֱלִיעֶזֶר כִּי אֱלֹהֵי אָבִי בְּעֶזְרִי, נִמְשָׁךְ עַל "כִּי אָמַר", וְכֵן רַבִּים:
1AND HER TWO SONS; OF WHOM THE NAME OF THE ONE WAS GERSHOM. Even though this is not the place where [the narrative of] their birth is told, Scripture here explains the names of the two sons [of Moses — Gershom and Eliezer —] because there was no opportunity to mention the name of Eliezer at his birth, as I have explained in Seder V’eileh Shemoth.61 Here, Scripture wanted to mention the kindness that the Holy One, blessed be He, had shown to Moses, who was a stranger in a strange land. [When he named his second son], he gave thanks there to G-d for having delivered him from the sword of Pharaoh when he fled from before him,62, 2:15. [and for making him] now king over Israel, and [because] He drowned Pharaoh and his people in the sea.The sense of the expression for he said, I have been a stranger, etc. is connected with Moses, who is mentioned in the first verse, [and not with Jethro, who is mentioned in the second verse]. Similarly, the following verse, And the name of the other was Eliezer: for the G-d of my father was my help,63 is connected with the expression for he said, [found in the verse before us. It thus reads: “And the name of the other was Eliezer; for he said: for the G-d, etc.”] There are many cases like that.
