1Now Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses` father-in-law, heard of all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, how that Yahweh had brought Israel out of Egypt.
2Jethro, Moses` father-in-law, received Zipporah, Moses` wife, after he had sent her away,
3and her two sons. The name of one son was Gershom, for Moses said, "I have been a sojourner in a foreign land".
4The name of the other was Eliezer, for he said, "My father`s God was my help and delivered me from Pharaoh`s sword."
5Jethro, Moses` father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife to Moses into the wilderness where he was encamped, at the Mountain of God.
6He said to Moses, I, your father-in-law Jethro, have come to you with your wife, and her two sons with her.
7Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, and bowed and kissed him. They asked each other of their welfare, and they came into the tent.
