1. Now Moses’ father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian, heard of all that God had done for Moses and for his people Israel: how the Lord had brought Israel out of Egypt.
2. So his father-in-law Jethro took along Zipporah, Moses’ wife—now this was after Moses had sent her back—
3. and her two sons. One of these was named Gershom; for he said, “I am a resident alien in a foreign land.”
4. The other was named Eliezer; for he said, “The God of my father is my help; he has rescued me from Pharaoh’s sword.”
5. Together with Moses’ wife and sons, then, his father-in-law Jethro came to him in the wilderness where he was encamped at the mountain of God,
6. and he sent word to Moses, “I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you, along with your wife and her two sons.”
