Exodus 18:1–12

When ^aJethro, ^bthe priest of Midian, Moses’ father in law, heard of all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, and that the Lord had brought Israel out of Egypt; ²then Jethro, Moses’ father in law, took Zipporah, Moses’ wife, ^cafter he had sent her back, ³and her ^dtwo sons; of which the name of the one was Gershom; for he said, I have been an alien in a strange land: ⁴and the name of the other was Eliezer; for the God of my father, ^esaid he, was mine help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh: ⁵and Jethro, Moses’ father in law, came with his sons and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness, where he encamped at ^fthe mount of God: 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 ^gwent out to meet his father in law, and did obeisance, and ^hkissed him; and they asked each other of their welfare; and they came into the tent. ⁸And Moses told his father in law all that the Lord 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 the Lord delivered them. ⁹And Jethro ⁱrejoiced for all the goodness which the Lord had done to Israel, whom he had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians. ¹⁰And Jethro said, ^kBlessed be the Lord, 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 the Lord is ^lgreater than all gods: ^mfor in the thing wherein they ⁿdealt proudly he was above them. ¹²And Jethro, Moses’ father in law, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God: and Aaron came, and all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses’ father in law ^obefore God.
