1 Now Moses’ father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian, heard of all that God had done for Moses and for his people Israel: how the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt. 2 So his father-in-law Jethro took along Zipporah, Moses’ wife—now this was after Moses had sent her back— 3 and her two sons. One of these was named Gershom; for he said, “I am a resident alien in a foreign land.” 4 The other was named Eliezer; for he said, “The God of my father is my help; he has rescued me from Pharaoh’s sword.” 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. Exodus 18:1-7, New American Bible Revised. Copyright © 2010 USCCB.
