Midianite living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness
Jethro
The priest of Midian, Moses’ father-in-law, also called Reuel (Exodus 2:16–18; 18:1). He gave Moses his daughter Zipporah and a home when Moses fled from Egypt (Exodus 2:21). After the exodus he came to the camp at the mountain of God with Moses’ wife and sons, rejoiced at all God had done, and offered a sacrifice (Exodus 18:1–12). Seeing Moses worn out by judging the people alone, he advised him to choose able men who feared God to judge the smaller cases, and Moses took his advice (Exodus 18:13–26).
