Exodus 18:6-11

6And he said unto Moses, I thy father in law Jethro am come unto 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 of their welfare; and they came into the tent.1 8And Moses told his father in law all that Yhwh had done unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel’s sake, and all the travail that had come upon them by the way, and how Yhwh delivered them.2 9And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which Yhwh had done to Israel, whom he had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians. 10And Jethro said, Blessed be Yhwh, who hath delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh, who hath delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians. 11Now I know that Yhwh is greater than all gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly he was above them.
