Exodus 18:6-12 God's Word Translation (GW)

6. Jethro had sent word to Moses, “I’m coming to ⌊visit⌋ you, ⌊and I’m bringing⌋ your wife and her two sons.”

7. So Moses went out to meet his father-in-law. Moses bowed with his face touching the ground and kissed Jethro. After they asked each other how they were, they went into the tent.

8. Moses told his father-in-law everything the Lord had done to Pharaoh and the Egyptians for Israel, all the hardships they had had on the way, and how the Lord had saved them.

9. Jethro was delighted ⌊to hear⌋ about all the good things the Lord had done for Israel in rescuing them from the Egyptians.

10. He said, “Thank the Lord! He rescued you from the Egyptians and their Pharaoh and rescued these people from the control of the Egyptians,

11. who treated Israel with contempt. Now I know that the Lord is greater than all other gods.”

12. Then Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, brought a burnt offering and other sacrifices to God. Aaron and all the leaders of Israel came to eat the meal with Moses’ father-in-law in God’s presence.
