Exodus 18:1-7 ▼

1 Now Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses’ father-in-law, heard about everything that God had done for Moses and for Israel His people, how the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt.

2 And Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, took in Moses’ wife Zipporah, after he had sent her away,

3 and her two sons, one of whom was named Gershom, for Moses said, “I have been a stranger in a foreign land.”

4 And the other was named Eliezer, for he said, “The God of my father was my help, and saved me from the sword of Pharaoh.”

5 Then Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife to Moses in the wilderness where he was camped, at the mountain of God.

6 And he sent word to Moses: “I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you with your wife and her two sons with her.”

7 Then Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, and he bowed down and kissed him; and they asked each other about their welfare, and went into the tent.
