1 Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, was the priest of Midian. He heard about everything that God had done for Moses and his people, the Israelites. Jethro heard how the Lord had led the Israelites out of Egypt.
2 Moses had sent his wife Zipporah to Jethro, his father-in-law.
3 Moses had also sent his two sons. The first son was named Gershom. When he was born, Moses said, “I am a stranger in a foreign country.”
4 The other son was named Eliezer. When he was born, Moses said, “The God of my father is my help. He saved me from the king of Egypt.”
