Exodus 17:15-18:5
New International Version
15 Moses built an altar(A) and called(B) it The Lord is my Banner. 16 He said, “Because hands were lifted up against[a] the throne of the Lord,[b] the Lord will be at war against the Amalekites(C) from generation to generation.”(D)
Jethro Visits Moses
18 Now Jethro,(E) the priest of Midian(F) and father-in-law of Moses, heard of everything God had done for Moses and for his people Israel, and how the Lord had brought Israel out of Egypt.(G)
2 After Moses had sent away his wife Zipporah,(H) his father-in-law Jethro received her 3 and her two sons.(I) One son was named Gershom,[c] for Moses said, “I have become a foreigner in a foreign land”;(J) 4 and the other was named Eliezer,[d](K) for he said, “My father’s God was my helper;(L) he saved me from the sword of Pharaoh.”
5 Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, together with Moses’ sons and wife, came to him in the wilderness, where he was camped near the mountain(M) of God.
