1. Now Jethro, the priest of Midian and Moses’ father-in-law, heard about everything God had done for Moses and for His people Israel, and how Adonai had brought Israel out of Egypt. (
2. Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, had taken in Moses’ wife Zipporah, after he had sent her away
3. with her two sons. One was named Gershom because he said, “I have been an outsider in a foreign land,”
4. and the name of the other was Eliezer because he said, “For my father’s God is my help , and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh.”)
5. So Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife to Moses into the wilderness where he was encamped at the mountain of God.
6. He had told Moses, “I, Jethro your father-in-law, am coming to you, along with your wife and her two sons.”
7. So Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, then bowed down and kissed him. They asked each other about their welfare, and went into the tent.
