Exodus 18:3-9 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

3. and her two sons. One son was named Gershom. That's because Moses had said, "I'm an outsider in a strange land."

4. The other was named Eliezer. That's because Moses had said, "My father's God helped me. He saved me from Pharaoh's sword."

5. Moses' father-in-law Jethro came to Moses in the desert. Moses' sons and wife came with Jethro. Moses was camped near the mountain of God.

6. Jethro had sent a message to him. It said, "I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you. I'm bringing your wife and her two sons."

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

8. Moses told his father-in-law about everything the Lord had done to Pharaoh and the Egyptians because of how much he loved Israel. He told him about all of their hard times along the way. He told him about how the Lord had saved them.

9. Jethro was delighted to hear about all of the good things the Lord had done for Israel. He heard about how God had saved them from the power of Egypt.
