Exodus 18:6-11

6He 1sentH559 wordH559 to MosesH4872, “I, your father-in-lawH2860 JethroH3503, am comingH935 to you with your wifeH802 and her twoH8147 sonsH1121 with her.”

7Then MosesH4872 wentH3318 out to meetH7122 his father-in-lawH2860, and 2he bowedH7812 downH7812 and 3kissedH5401 him; and they 4askedH7592 eachH376 otherH7453 of their welfareH7965 and wentH935 into the tentH168.

8MosesH4872 toldH5608 his father-in-lawH2860 allH3605 that the LordH3068 had doneH6213 to PharaohH6547 and to the EgyptiansH4714 5for Israel’sH3478 sakeH5921H182, allH3605 the 6hardshipH8513 that had befallenH4672 them on the journeyH1870, and how 7the LordH3068 had deliveredH5337 them.

9JethroH3503 rejoicedH2302 overH5921 allH3605 8the goodnessH2899 whichH834 the LordH3068 had doneH6213 to IsraelH3478, 9in deliveringH5337 10them from the handH3027 of the EgyptiansH4714.

10So JethroH3503 saidH559, “11BlessedH1288 be the LordH3068 whoH834 deliveredH5337 you from the handH3027 of the EgyptiansH4714 and from the handH3027 of PharaohH6547, and whoH834 deliveredH5337 the peopleH5971 from underH8478 the handH3027 of the EgyptiansH4714.

11NowH6258 I knowH3045 that 12the LordH3068 is greaterH1419 thanH4480 allH3605 the godsH430; 13indeedH3588, 14it was provenH1697 whenH834 they dealtH2102 proudlyH2102 againstH5921 15the people.”
