Exodus 18:6-11

6And he 1sent word to Moses: “I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you with your wife and her two sons with her.”

7Then Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, and 2he bowed down and 3kissed him; and they 4asked each other about their welfare, and went into the tent.

8Moses told his father-in-law everything that the Lord had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians 5for Israel’s sake, all the 6hardship that had confronted them on the journey, and how 7the Lord had rescued them.

9And Jethro rejoiced over all 8the goodness which the Lord had done for Israel, 9in rescuing 10them from the hand of the Egyptians.

10So Jethro said, “11Blessed be the Lord who rescued you from the hand of the Egyptians and from the hand of Pharaoh, and who rescued the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.

11Now I know that 12the Lord is greater than all the gods; indeed, 1314it was proven when they acted insolently against 15the people.”
