כִּ֣י בַדָּבָ֔ר
that/for/because/then/when in/on/at/with,matter
Here, because of the matter probably refers back to Yahweh’s rescue of Israel. Alternate translation: “because of what he did”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
אֲשֶׁ֥ר זָד֖וּ עֲלֵיהֶֽם
which/who dealt_arrogantly against,them
The most natural referent for they is the gods, who, perhaps through their agents (Pharaoh and the Egyptians), fought against Yahweh and oppressed the Israelites (them). This would connect back to Exodus 12:12 where Yahweh declares that he is bringing judgment on the gods of Egypt. You may need to make some part of this explicit. Alternate translation: “in which they proudly fought Yahweh by oppressing Israel”
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.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
