Now, Moses, was shepherding the flock of Jethro his father-in-law priest of Midian, - so he led forth the flock behind the desert, and came in unto the mountain of God to Horeb.

So Moses went and returned unto Jethro his father-in-law and said to him - Let me go, I pray thee, and return unto my brethren who are in Egypt, that I my see whether they are yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses: Go and prosper.

And Jethro, priest of Midian, father-in-law of Moses, heard all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, - in that Yahweh had brought forth Israel out of Egypt.

So Jethro, Moses father-in-law, took Zipporah, Moses wife, - after she had been sent home;

And Jethro, Moses father-in-law, came in, with his two sons and his wife, unto Moses, - into the desert where, he, was encamping, the mountain of God;

and said unto Moses, I, thy father-in-law, Jethro, am coming in unto thee, - and thy wife, and her two sons, with her.

So Moses went forth to meet his father-in-law, and bowed himself down to him and kissed him, and they asked each other of their welfare, - and came into the tent.

Then Moses recounted to his father-in-law, all that Yahweh had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians, for Israel's sake, - all the hardship which had befallen them by the way, and how Yahweh had delivered them.

Then took Jethro father-in-law of Moses, an ascending-offering and sacrifices to God, - and Aaron and all the elders of Israel came in to eat bread with the father-in-law of Moses before God.

And when Moses father-in-law saw all that he, was doing for the people, he said - What is this thing which, thou, art doing for the people? Wherefore art, thou, sitting alone, with all the people, stationed by thee, from morning until evening?

And Moses said to his father-in-law, - Because the people come in unto me to seek God:

Then said Moses' father-in-law unto him, - Not good, is the thing that thou art doing.

So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father-in-law, and did all that he had said;

And Moses sent forth his father-in-law, - and he went his way by himself unto his own land.
