1 Moses' father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian, heard about everything that God had done for Moses and the people of Israel when he led them out of Egypt.
2 So he came to Moses, bringing with him Moses' wife Zipporah, who had been left behind,
3 and Gershom and Eliezer, her two sons. (Moses had said, “I have been a foreigner in a strange land”; so he had named one son Gershom.
4 He had also said, “The God of my father helped me and saved me from being killed by the king of Egypt”; so he had named the other son Eliezer.)
5 Jethro came with Moses' wife and her two sons into the desert where Moses was camped at the holy mountain.
6 He had sent word to Moses that they were coming,
7 so Moses went out to meet him, bowed before him, and kissed him. They asked about each other's health and then went into Moses' tent.
