1 Jethro, Midian’s priest and Moses’ father-in-law, heard about everything that God had done for Moses and for God’s people Israel, how the Lord had brought Israel out of Egypt.
2 Moses’ father-in-law Jethro took with him Zipporah, Moses’ wife whom he had sent away,
3 along with her two sons. One was named Gershom because he said, "I have been an immigrant living in a foreign land."
4 The other was named Eliezer because he said, "The God of my ancestors was my helper who rescued me from Pharaoh’s sword."
5 Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, brought Moses’ sons and wife back to him in the desert where he had set up camp at God’s mountain.
6 He sent word to Moses: "I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you along with your wife and her two sons."
7 Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, and he bowed down and kissed him. They asked each other how they were doing, and then they went into the tent.
