Seeker Overlay ON
*
When Jethro ,
the priest of Midian ,
Moses '
father in law ,
heard of all that God had done for Moses ,
and for Israel his people ,
and that the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt ;
*
Then Jethro ,
Moses '
father in law ,
took Zipporah ,
Moses '
wife ,
after he had sent her back ,
*
And her two sons ;
of which the name of the one was Gershom ;
for he said ,
I have been an alien in a strange land :
*
And the name of the other was Eliezer ;
for the God of my father ,
said he ,
was mine help ,
and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh :
*
And Jethro ,
Moses '
father in law ,
came with his sons and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness ,
where he encamped at the mount of God :
*
And he said unto Moses ,
I thy father in law Jethro am come unto thee ,
and thy wife ,
and her two sons with her .
*
And Moses went out to meet his father in law ,
and did obeisance ,
and kissed him ;
and they asked each other of their welfare ;
and they came into the tent .
*
And Moses told his father in law all that the LORD had done unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel '
s sake ,
and all the travail that had come upon them by the way ,
and how the LORD delivered them .
*
And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which the LORD had done to Israel ,
whom he had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians .
*
And Jethro said ,
Blessed be the LORD ,
who hath delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians ,
and out of the hand of Pharaoh ,
who hath delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians .
*
Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods :
for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly he was above them .
*
And Jethro ,
Moses '
father in law ,
took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God :
and Aaron came ,
and all the elders of Israel ,
to eat bread with Moses '
father in law before God .
