Exodus 18:1-7 ▼

1 Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father-in-law, heard all that God had done for Moses and for his people Israel, and how the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt.

2 Now Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, had taken back Moses' wife Zipporah after she had been sent away,

3 along with her two sons. The name of the one was Gershom, because he used to say, |I was an alien in a foreign land,|

4 while the name of the other was Eliezer, because he used to say, |My father's God helped me and delivered me from Pharaoh's sword.|

5 Moses' father-in-law Jethro, together with Moses' two sons and his wife, came to Moses in the desert where he was camped at the mountain of God.

6 He told Moses, |I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you along with your wife and her two sons.|

7 When Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, he bowed low and kissed him, and they greeted one another. Then they went into the tent.
