1 Moses' father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian, heard about everything God had done for Moses and his people Israel and how the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt. 2 When Moses had sent away his wife Zipporah, his father-in-law Jethro had taken her in, 3 along with her two sons. The one son was named Gershom [Foreigner], because Moses said, |I was a foreigner living in another country.| 4 The name of the other was Eliezer [My God Is a Helper], because he said, |My father's God was my helper. He saved me from Pharaoh's death sentence.| 5 Moses' father-in-law Jethro brought Moses' sons and wife to Moses in the desert where he was camped near the mountain of God. 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. Exodus 18:1-7, God's Word Translation.
