Exodus 18:2

Jethro’s Advice

1 And ^aJethro, the priest of Midian, Moses’ father-in-law, heard of all that ^bGod had done for Moses and for Israel His people—that the Lord had brought Israel out of Egypt.

2 Then Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, took ^aZipporah, Moses’ wife, after he had sent her back,

3 with her ^atwo sons, of whom the name of one was¹ Gershom (for he said, ^b“I have been a stranger in a foreign land”)

4 and the name of the other was¹ Eliezer (for he said, “The God of my father was my ^ahelp, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh”);

5 and Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife to Moses in the wilderness, where he was encamped at ^athe mountain of God.

6 Now he had said to Moses, “I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you with your wife and her two sons with her.”

7 So Moses ^awent out to meet his father-in-law, bowed down, and ^bkissed him. And they asked each other about their well-being, and they went into the tent.
