Exodus 18:2-7 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

2. Moses had sent his wife Zipporah to his father-in-law. So Jethro welcomed her

3. and her two sons. One son was named Gershom. That's because Moses had said, "I'm an outsider in a strange land."

4. The other was named Eliezer. That's because Moses had said, "My father's God helped me. He saved me from Pharaoh's sword."

5. Moses' father-in-law Jethro came to Moses in the desert. Moses' sons and wife came with Jethro. Moses was camped near the mountain of God.

6. Jethro had sent a message to him. It said, "I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you. I'm bringing your wife and her two sons."

7. So Moses went out to meet his father-in-law. Moses bowed down and kissed him. They greeted each other. Then they went into the tent.
