## Exodus 18:1-3 in Context (Verses 1–6 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/exodus/18/1) When Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses’ father in law, heard of all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, *and* that the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt;
 
 [2 ](/kjv/exodus/18/2) Then Jethro, Moses’ father in law, took Zipporah, Moses’ wife, after he had sent her back,
 
 [3 ](/kjv/exodus/18/3) And her two sons; of which the name of the one *was* Gershom; for he said, I have been an alien in a strange land:*
 
 [4 ](/kjv/exodus/18/4) And the name of the other *was* Eliezer; for the God of my father, *said he, was* mine help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh:*
 
 [5 ](/kjv/exodus/18/5) And Jethro, Moses’ father in law, came with his sons and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness, where he encamped at the mount of God:
 
 [6 ](/kjv/exodus/18/6) And he said unto Moses, I thy father in law Jethro am come unto thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her.
