Exodus 18:1-3

Common English Bible

Sharing the burden of leadership

18 Jethro, Midian’s priest and Moses’ father-in-law, heard about everything that God had done for Moses and for God’s people Israel, how the Lord had brought Israel out of Egypt. ² Moses’ father-in-law Jethro took with him Zipporah, Moses’ wife whom he had sent away, ³ along with her two sons. One was named Gershom because he said, “I have been an immigrant^[a] living in a foreign land.”
