Exodus 18:7

Verse 7 of 27. The 18th of 40 chapters in Exodus, in The Law.

3and her two sons. The name of one son was Gershom, for Moses said, “I have lived as a foreigner in a foreign land”.

4The name of the other was Eliezer, for he said, “My father’s God was my help and delivered me from Pharaoh’s sword.”

5Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, came with Moses’ sons and his wife to Moses into the wilderness where he was encamped, at the Mountain of God.

6He said to Moses, “I, your father-in-law Jethro, have come to you with your wife, and her two sons with her.”

7Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, and bowed and kissed him. They asked each other of their welfare, and they came into the tent.

8Moses told his father-in-law all that the LORD had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel’s sake, all the hardships that had come on them on the way, and how the LORD delivered them.

9Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which the LORD had done to Israel, in that he had delivered them out of the hand of the Egyptians.

10Jethro said, “Blessed be the LORD, who has delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh; who has delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.

11Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods because of the way that they treated people arrogantly.”
