18.5 Venit ergo Jethro, etc. ORIG., hom. 11 in Exod. Alia littera: Post hæc venit ad montem Dei Moyses, et Jethro sibi occurrenti exiit obviam de castris, nec duxit eum ad montem Dei, sed ad tabernaculum suum. Non enim poterat sacerdos Madian ascendere in montem Dei, sed nec in Ægyptum descendere, nec uxor Moysi, sed nunc ad eum venit cum filiis. Non enim poterat descendere in Ægyptum, et subire agones Ægyptiorum, nisi athleta probabilis, et qui in agone contendens ab omnibus se abstinet. Moyses, quia magnus et potens athleta, descendit in Ægyptum ad agones et exercitia virtutum; Abraham et Jacob quoque, qui ipso nomine athleta est, cum descendisset in Ægyptum, factus est sicut stellæ cœli in multitudine. Aliis in contrarium cedit descendisse in Ægyptum. Scio Hieroboam fugientem a Salomone descendisse in Ægyptum, et scidisse et corrupisse populum Dei; quia descendens in Ægyptum accepit a Susachim rege uxorem Tethimenem uxoris ejus sororem.

BRN And Jothor the father-in-law of Moses, and his sons and his wife, went forth to Moses into the wilderness, where he encamped on the mount of God.
BrLXX Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ἰοθὸρ ὁ γαμβρὸς Μωυσῆ καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ καὶ ἡ γυνὴ πρὸς Μωυσῆν εἰς τὴν ἔρημον, οὗ παρενέβαλεν ἐπʼ ὄρους τοῦ Θεοῦ.
(Kai exaʸlthen Yothor ho gambros Mōusaʸ kai hoi huioi kai haʸ gunaʸ pros Mōusaʸn eis taʸn eraʸmon, hou parenebalen epʼ orous 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.
