17 Yithro – Day 1
Sh’moth 18:1-12
And Yithro, the kohen of Miḏyan, Mosheh’s father-in-law, heard of all that Elohim had done for Mosheh and for Yisra’ěl His people, that YHWH had brought Yisra’ěl out of Mitsrayim.
And Yithro, Mosheh’s father-in-law, took Tsipporah, the wife of Mosheh – after he had sent her back, and her two sons, of whom the name of one was Gěreshom, for he said, “I have been a sojourner in a foreign land,” and the name of the other was Eli‛ezer, for he said, “The Elohim of my father was my help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh.”
Yithro, Mosheh’s father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife to Mosheh in the wilderness, where he was encamped at the mountain of Elohim.
And he had said to Mosheh, “I, your father-in-law Yithro, am coming to you with your wife and her two sons with her.”
And Mosheh went out to meet his father-in-law, and bowed down, and kissed him. And they asked each other about their welfare, and they went into the tent.
And Mosheh told his father-in-law all that YHWH had done to Pharaoh and to the Mitsrites for Yisra’ěl’s sake, all the hardship that had come upon them on the way, and how YHWH had delivered them.
And Yithro rejoiced for all the excellence which YHWH had done for Yisra’ěl, whom He had delivered out of the hand of the Mitsrites.
And Yithro said, “Blessed be YHWH, who has delivered you out of the hand of the Mitsrites and out of the hand of Pharaoh, and who has delivered the people from under the hand of the Mitsrites.
“Now I know that YHWH is greater than all the mighty ones, indeed in the matter in which they acted proudly, above them.”
Then Yithro, the father-in-law of Mosheh, brought an ascending offering and other sacrifices unto Elohim. And Aharon came with all the elders of Yisra’ěl to eat bread with the father-in-law of Mosheh before Elohim.
