Jethro had sent word to him, “I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you with your wife and her two sons.”
Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, together with Moses’ sons and wife, came to him in the wilderness, where he was camped near the mountain of God.
So Moses went out to meet his father-in-law and bowed down and kissed him. They greeted each other and then went into the tent.
So Moses took his wife and sons, put them on a donkey and started back to Egypt. And he took the staff of God in his hand.
