18.12 Obtulit ergo Jethro, etc. AUG. in Locutionibus, locut. 85. Et sumpsit Jethro socer Moysi holocausta, etc. Sumpsit pro obtulit, posuit: an forte sensus est, non locutio, ut ea sumpsisse intelligatur obtulisse; quamvis Moyses non legatur sacrificasse, nec Aaron, nec quisquam Hebræorum qui educti sunt de terra Ægypti: sed tamen superius dictum est quod altare constituit Moyses. Jethro autem legimus sacerdotem fuisse Madian, id est gentis Madian. Mirum est autem si ad ejus adventum cœpit sacrificare Moyses, et non potius ipse qui sacerdos erat. Veneruntque, etc. ORIG., ubi supra. Alia littera: Venerunt, inquit, presbyteri Aaron, et omnis Isræl manducare panem cum socero Moysi in conspectu Dei. Non omnes manducant panem in conspectu Dei, sed qui presbyteri sunt, qui seniores, id est, qui perfecti sunt, in meritis probati, qui sive manducant, sive bibunt, ad gloriam Dei faciunt. Omne ergo quod faciunt sancti, in conspectu Dei faciunt: peccator a conspectu Dei fugit. Adam postquam peccavit, fugit a conspectu Domini, et interrogatus respondit: Audivi, Domine, vocem tuam, et abscondi me, quia eram nudus Gen. 3.. Cain exivit a facie Domini, quia indignus erat conspectu Domini. Propterea qui pleniorem scientiam Dei accipiunt, si malum faciunt, coram Deo faciunt. Unde psal. 1: Tibi soli peccavi, etc. Qui malum coram Deo facit, continuo pœnitet, et dicit, Peccavi. Qui discedit a conspectu Dei, nescit converti et peccatum pœnitendo purgare. Hoc ergo interest inter malum coram Deo facere, et a conspectu Dei discedere. ORIG. Non frustra venit Jethro ad Moysen, nec frustra manducavit panem cum senioribus populi in conspectu Dei; dat Moysi consilium probabile et utile, ut eligat viros, et constituat principes populi Deum colentes, potentes et odientes superbiam. Tales enim oportet esse qui superbi non sint, et superbiam oderint; id est, ut non solum ipsi absque vitio sint, sed in malis oderint vitia: non homines dico, sed vitia. Coram Deo, etc. AUG., quæst. 66. Quæritur ubi, quandoquidem nec tabernaculum fuit, nec arca testamenti, quæ postea sunt instituta? neque hoc de futuro dictum accipere possumus, sicut dictum est de manna, quod positum est in vase, scilicet aureo. Ergo id ante Deum debemus accipere factum, quod in honorem Domini factum est.

BRN And Jothor the father-in-law of Moses took whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices for God, for Aaron and all the elders of Israel came to eat bread with the father-in-law of Moses before God.
BrLXX Καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἰοθὸρ ὁ γαμβρὸς Μωυσῆ ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ θυσίας τῷ Θεῷ· παρεγένετο δὲ Ἀαρὼν καὶ πάντες οἱ πρεσβύτεροι Ἰσραὴλ συμφαγεῖν ἄρτον μετὰ τοῦ γαμβροῦ Μωυσῆ, ἐναντίον τοῦ Θεοῦ.
(Kai elaben Yothor ho gambros Mōusaʸ holokautōmata kai thusias tōi Theōi; paregeneto de Aʼarōn kai pantes hoi presbuteroi Israaʸl sumfagein arton meta tou gambrou Mōusaʸ, enantion tou Theou. )
18:1-12 Moses had apparently sent his wife and children back from Egypt at some point to stay with his father-in-law. In the intense confrontation with Pharaoh, Moses might have been afraid for their lives. Jethro now came to meet Moses and the Israelites, bringing Moses’ family with him (18:2-6). In the context of the visit, Moses gave him a report, and Jethro was brought to faith through the testimony of the Lord’s work.
