Exodus 18:1-5

Jethro Visits Moses 1Now Jethro, the priest of Midian 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. 2After Moses had sent away his wife Zipporah, his father-in-law Jethro received her 3and her two sons. One son was named Gershom, Gershom sounds like the Hebrew for a foreigner there. for Moses said, “I have become a foreigner in a foreign land”;

4and the other was named Eliezer, Eliezer means my God is helper. for he said, “My father’s God was my helper; he saved me from the sword of Pharaoh.” 5Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, together with Moses’ sons and wife, came to him in the wilderness, where he was camped near the mountain of God.
