Exodus 18:5-11 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

5. Together with Moses’ wife and sons, then, his father-in-law Jethro came to him in the wilderness where he was encamped at the mountain of God,

6. and he sent word to Moses, “I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you, along with your wife and her two sons.”

7. Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, bowed down, and then kissed him. Having greeted each other, they went into the tent.

8. Moses then told his father-in-law of all that the Lord had done to Pharaoh and the Egyptians for the sake of Israel, and of all the hardships that had beset them on their journey, and how the Lord had rescued them.

9. Jethro rejoiced over all the goodness that the Lord had shown Israel in rescuing them from the power of the Egyptians.

10. “Blessed be the Lord,” he said, “who has rescued you from the power of the Egyptians and of Pharaoh.

11. Now I know that the Lord is greater than all the gods; for he rescued the people from the power of the Egyptians when they treated them arrogantly.”
