     | 2,296 views

    There are two possible explanations for why Moses solicits his father-in-law's permission. One is that he may have needed his father-in-law's permission to take Zipporah from her House. The second is that Moses exhibited good manners in making this request.

    Exodus 4:18-20, Moses Departs From Jethro Scripture: Exodus 4:18-20 18 Then Moses went back to Jethro his father-in-law and said to him, 'Let me return to my own people in Egypt to see if any of them are still alive.' Jethro said, 'Go, and I wish you well.' 19 Now the LORD had ...read more

    The lesson today is one of that was avoided by the early Church and was even left out of some early manuscripts. This is Jesus second discourse in the temple.
