Exodus 18:1-12

1And Jethro the priest of Midian, Moses' father-in-law, heard of all that 1God had done to Moses, and to Israel his people; that Jehovah had brought Israel out of Egypt.

2And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he had sent her back,

3and her two sons, of whom the name of the one was Gershom — for he said, I have been a sojourner in a foreign land,

4— and the name of the other, Eliezer — For the 2God of my father has been my help, and has delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh.

5And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, came to Moses with his sons and his wife into the wilderness, where he encamped at the mountain of 3God.

6And he sent word to Moses: I, thy father-in-law Jethro, am come to thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her.

7And Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, and did obeisance, and kissed him; and they asked each other [after] their welfare, and went into the tent.

8And Moses told his father-in-law all that Jehovah had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake; all the trouble that had befallen them on the way, and [how] Jehovah had delivered them.

9And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness that Jehovah had done to Israel; that he had delivered them out of the hand of the Egyptians.

10And Jethro said, Blessed be Jehovah, who has delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh; who has delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.

11Now I know that Jehovah is greater than all 4gods; for in the thing in which they acted haughtily [he was] above them.

12And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took a burnt-offering and sacrifices for 5God; and Aaron came, and all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses' father-in-law in the presence of 6God.
