Exodus 18:1-12
1When JethroH3503, the priestH3548 of MidianH4080, MosesH4872’ father in lawH2859, heardH8085 of all that GodH430 had doneH6213 for MosesH4872, and for IsraelH3478 his peopleH5971, and that the LORDH3068 had broughtH3318 IsraelH3478 out of EgyptH4714; 2Then JethroH3503, MosesH4872’ father in lawH2859, tookH3947 ZipporahH6855, MosesH4872’ wifeH802, afterH310 he had sent her backH7964, 3And her twoH8147 sonsH1121; of which the nameH8034 of the oneH259 was GershomH1647; for he saidH559, I have been an alienH1616 in a strangeH5237 landH776:1 4And the nameH8034 of the otherH259 was EliezerH461; for the GodH430 of my fatherH1, said he, was my helpH5828, and deliveredH5337 me from the swordH2719 of PharaohH6547:2 5And JethroH3503, MosesH4872’ father in lawH2859, cameH935 with his sonsH1121 and his wifeH802 to MosesH4872 into the wildernessH4057, where he encampedH2583 at the mountH2022 of GodH430: 6And he saidH559 to MosesH4872, I thy father in lawH2859 JethroH3503 have comeH935 to thee, and thy wifeH802, and her twoH8147 sonsH1121 with her.
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 tentH168.3 8And MosesH4872 toldH5608 his father in lawH2859 all that the LORDH3068 had doneH6213 to PharaohH6547 and to the EgyptiansH4714 for Israel’sH3478 sakeH182, and all the travailH8513 that had comeH4672 upon them by the wayH1870, and how the LORDH3068 deliveredH5337 them.4 9And JethroH3503 rejoicedH2302 for all the goodnessH2896 which the LORDH3068 had doneH6213 to IsraelH3478, whom he had deliveredH5337 out of the handH3027 of the EgyptiansH4714. 10And JethroH3503 saidH559, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068, 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 the LORDH3068 is greaterH1419 than all godsH430: for in the thingH1697 in which they dealt proudlyH2102 he was above them. 12And JethroH3503, MosesH4872’ father in lawH2859, tookH3947 a burnt offeringH5930 and sacrificesH2077 for GodH430: and AaronH175 cameH935, and all the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, to eatH398 breadH3899 with MosesH4872’ father in lawH2859 beforeH6440 GodH430.
