Exodus 18

¹When Iethro the Priest of Midian Moses father in lawe heard all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, and howe the Lord had brought Israel out of Egypt,

²Then Iethro the father in lawe of Moses, tooke Zipporah Moses wife, (after he had sent her away)

³And her two sonnes, (whereof the one was called Gershom: for he sayd, I haue bene an aliant in a strange land:

⁴And the name of the other was Eliezer: for the God of my father, said he, was mine helpe, and deliuered me from the sword of Pharaoh)

⁵And Iethro Moses father in law came with his two sonnes, and his wife vnto Moses into the wildernes, where he camped by ye mout of God.

⁶And he said to Moses, I thy father in law Iethro am come to thee, and thy wife and her two sonnes with her.

⁷And Moses went out to meete his father in law, and did obeisance and kissed him, and eche asked other of his welfare: and they came into the tent.

⁸Then Moses told his father in law all that the Lord had done vnto Pharaoh, and to the Egyptians for Israels sake, and all the trauaile that had come vnto them by the way, and howe the Lord deliuered them.

⁹And Iethro reioyced at all the goodnesse, which the Lord had shewed to Israel, and because he had deliuered them out of the hande of the Egyptians.

¹⁰Therfore Iethro sayd, Blessed be the Lord who hath deliuered you out of the hande of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh: who hath also deliuered the people from vnder the hand of the Egyptians.

¹¹Now I know that the Lord is greater then all the gods: for as they haue dealt proudly with them, so are they recompensed.
