And Moses said to Hobab the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law: We are going to the place of which Jehovah said, I will give it to you. Come with us, and we will do you good. For Jehovah has spoken good concerning Israel.

But Hobab [Moses’ brother-in-law] said to him, “I will not go; I will return to my own land and to my family.”
