Jethro Visits Moses

18 Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, was the priest of Midian [2:15]. He heard about everything that God had done for Moses and his people, the Israelites, and how the Lord had led the Israelites out of Egypt. ² Now Moses had sent [^Laway] his wife Zipporah [2:21] to Jethro, his father-in-law [4:24–26], ³ along with his two sons. The first son was named Gershom [^Csounds like Hebrew for “stranger there”], because when he was born, Moses said, “I am a ·stranger [sojourner; wanderer; resident alien] in a foreign country.”
