Mosheh’s father-in-law visits

Exo 18:1–12

18:1 Mosheh’s father-in-law visits

18Now Yetro (Jethro), the priest at Midian and Mosheh’s father-in-law, heard about everything that God had done for Mosheh and for his people the Israelis—that Yahweh had brought the Israelis out of Egypt. 2(Yetro had been looking after Mosheh’s wife Zipporah and their two sons after he had sent her back[ref] 3along with their two sons. One was named ‘Gershom’ (which sounds like the Hebrew word for ‘foreigner’) because Mosheh had said, “I’ve been a foreigner living in another country.”[ref] 4Their other son’s name was ‘Eliezer’ (which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘God helps me’, because Mosheh had said, “God, who my father worshipped, has helped me and stopped the Egyptian king Far’oh from killing me.”)

5So now Mosheh’s father-in-law brought Mosheh’s wife and sons to the wilderness where the people were camping near the mountain of God. 6He had sent a message ahead saying, “I, your father-in-law Yetro, am coming to you, as well as your wife and your two sons.” 7So Mosheh went out to meet his father-in-law, and he bowed down and kissed him. They asked each other about their welfare, then they went into the tent, 8and Mosheh related to his father-in-law all that Yahweh had done to Far’oh and to Egypt on account of Israel, all the hardship that found them along the way, and about how Yahweh had rescued them. 9Yetro was very happy to hear about all the good things that Yahweh had done for Israel when he had rescued them out from Egyptian control, 10and he said, “Bless Yahweh, who rescued you from slavery in Egypt, and from Far’oh’s power. 11Now I can see that Yahweh is greater than all the other gods because of the this result after the Egyptians had acted proudly against you all.” 12Then Mosheh’s father-in-law Yetro made a burnt offering as well as sacrifices to God, and Aharon and all of the Israeli elders came to eat bread with Mosheh’s father-in-law in God’s presence.
