Exodus 18:1-12

1And JethroH3503 the priestH3548 of MidianH4080, Moses' father-in-law, heardH8085 of all that 1GodH430 had done to MosesH4872, and to IsraelH3478 his peopleH5971; that Jehovah had broughtH3318 IsraelH3478 out of EgyptH4714.

2And JethroH3503, Moses' father-in-law, tookH3947 ZipporahH6855, Moses' wifeH802, after he had sent her back,

3and her twoH8147 sonsH1121, of whom the nameH8034 of the oneH259 was GershomH1647 — for he saidH559, I have beenH1961 a sojournerH1616 in a foreignH5237 landH776,

4— and the nameH8034 of the other, EliezerH461 — For the 2GodH430 of my fatherH1 has been my helpH5828, and has deliveredH5337 me from the swordH2719 of PharaohH6547.

5And JethroH3503, Moses' father-in-law, cameH935 to MosesH4872 with his sonsH1121 and his wifeH802 into the wildernessH4057, whereH834 he encampedH2583 at the mountainH2022 of 3GodH430.

6And he sent word to MosesH4872: I, thy father-in-law JethroH3503, am comeH935 to thee, and thy wifeH802, and her twoH8147 sonsH1121 with her.

7And MosesH4872 wentH3318 out to meet his father-in-law, and did obeisance, and kissedH5401 him; and they askedH7592 each other [after] their welfareH7965, and wentH3318 into the tentH168.

8And MosesH4872 told his father-in-law all that Jehovah had done to PharaohH6547 and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake; all the trouble that had befallen them on the wayH1870, and [how] Jehovah had deliveredH5337 them.

9And JethroH3503 rejoicedH2302 for all the goodness that Jehovah had done to IsraelH3478; that he had deliveredH5337 them out of the handH3027 of the Egyptians.

10And JethroH3503 saidH559, BlessedH1288 be Jehovah, who has deliveredH5337 you out of the handH3027 of the Egyptians, and out of the handH3027 of PharaohH6547; who has deliveredH5337 the peopleH5971 from under the handH3027 of the Egyptians.

11NowH6258 I knowH3045 that Jehovah is greaterH1419 than all 4godsH430; for in the thingH1697 in which they actedH2102 haughtily [he was] above them.

12And JethroH3503, Moses' father-in-law, tookH3947 a burnt-offering and sacrificesH2077 for 5GodH430; and AaronH175 cameH935, and all the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, to eatH398 breadH3899 with Moses' father-in-law in the presenceH6440 of 6GodH430.
