Exodus 18:1-10

1NowH3588 JethroH3503, the priestH3548 of MidianH4080, Moses’H4872 father in law, heardH8085 of allH3605 that GodH430 had doneH6213 for MosesH4872, and for IsraelH3478 his peopleH5971, howH834 that the LORDH3068 had broughtH3318 IsraelH3478 outH3318 of EgyptH4714.

2And JethroH3503, Moses’H4872 father in law, tookH3947 ZipporahH6855, Moses’H4872 wifeH802, afterH310 he had sentH3947 herH3947 awayH310,

3and herH1961 twoH8147 sonsH1121; of whichH834 the nameH8034 of the one was GershomH1647; for he saidH559, I have been a sojournerH1616 in a strange landH776:

4and the nameH8034 of the otherH259 was EliezerH461; for he said, The GodH430 of my fatherH1 was my helpH5828, and deliveredH5337 meH5337 from the swordH2719 of PharaohH6547:

5and JethroH3503, Moses’H4872 father in law, cameH935 with his sonsH1121 and his wifeH802 unto MosesH4872 intoH413 the wildernessH4057 whereH834 he was encampedH2583, at the mountH2022 of GodH430:

6and he saidH559 unto MosesH4872, I thy father in law JethroH3503 am comeH935 unto thee, and thy wifeH802, and herH413 twoH8147 sonsH1121 with herH413.

7And MosesH4872 wentH3318 outH3318 to meetH7125 his father in law, and didH376 obeisance, and kissedH5401 him; and they askedH7592 eachH376 otherH7453 of their welfareH7965; and they cameH935 intoH935 the tentH168.

8And MosesH4872 toldH5608 his father in law allH3605 that the LORDH3068 had doneH6213 unto PharaohH6547 and to the EgyptiansH4714 for Israel’sH3478 sakeH5921, allH3605 the travail that had comeH4672 uponH5921 them by the wayH1870, and howH834 the LORDH3068 deliveredH5337 them.

9And JethroH3503 rejoicedH2302 for allH3605 the goodness whichH834 the LORDH3068 had doneH6213 to IsraelH3478, in that he had deliveredH5337 them outH5921 of the handH3027 of the EgyptiansH4714.

10And JethroH3503 saidH559, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068, who hath deliveredH5337 youH834 outH3027 of the handH3027 of the EgyptiansH4714, and outH3027 of the handH3027 of PharaohH6547; who hath deliveredH5337 the peopleH5971 from underH8478 the handH3027 of the EgyptiansH4714.
