1. And Jethro, the priest of Midian, the father-in-law of Moses, heard all that God had done for Moses and for Israel, his people, that Yahweh had brought Israel out from Egypt.
2. And Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses, took Zipporah the wife of Moses after her sending away,
3. and her two sons—the one whose name was Gershom, for he had said, “I have been an alien in a foreign land,”
4. and the one whose name was Eliezer, for “the God of my father was my help, and he delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh.”
5. And Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses, came and his sons and his wife to Moses, to the desert where he was camping there at the mountain of God.
6. And he said to Moses, “I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you and your wife and her two sons with her.”
7. And Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, and he bowed, and he kissed him, and they each asked about the other’s welfare, and they came into the tent.
8. And Moses told his father-in-law all that Yahweh had done to Pharaoh and to Egypt on account of Israel, all the hardship that had found them on the way, and how Yahweh delivered them.
