1 Moses’ father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian, heard about everything that God had done for Moses and His people Israel, and how the Lord had brought Israel out of Egypt.
2 Now Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, had taken in Zipporah, Moses’ wife, after he had sent her back,
3 along with her two sons, one of whom was named Gershom (because Moses had said, “I have been a foreigner in a foreign land”)
4 and the other Eliezer (because he had said, “The God of my father was my helper and delivered me from Pharaoh’s sword”).
