Exodus 18:7-12

7And MosesH4872 went outH3318 to meetH7125 his father in lawH2859, and did obeisanceH7812, and kissedH5401 him; and they askedH7592 eachH376 otherH7453 of their welfareH7965; and they cameH935 into the tentH168.1 8And MosesH4872 toldH5608 his father in lawH2859 all that YhwhH3068 had doneH6213 unto PharaohH6547 and to the EgyptiansH4714 for Israel’sH3478 sakeH182, and all the travailH8513 that had comeH4672 upon them by the wayH1870, and how YhwhH3068 deliveredH5337 them.2 9And JethroH3503 rejoicedH2302 for all the goodnessH2896 which YhwhH3068 had doneH6213 to IsraelH3478, whom he had deliveredH5337 out of the handH3027 of the EgyptiansH4714. 10And JethroH3503 saidH559, BlessedH1288 be YhwhH3068, who hath deliveredH5337 you out of the handH3027 of the EgyptiansH4714, and out of the handH3027 of PharaohH6547, who hath deliveredH5337 the peopleH5971 from under the handH3027 of the EgyptiansH4714. 11Now I knowH3045 that YhwhH3068 is greaterH1419 than all godsH430: for in the thingH1697 wherein they dealt proudlyH2102 he was above them. 12And JethroH3503, Moses’H4872 father in lawH2859, tookH3947 a burnt offeringH5930 and sacrificesH2077 for GodH430: and AaronH175 cameH935, and all the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, to eatH398 breadH3899 with Moses’H4872 father in lawH2859 beforeH6440 GodH430.
