3 And Moses became a shepherd of the flock of Jethʹro,+ the priest of Midʹi·an, whose son-in-law he was.*+ While he was driving the flock to the west side of the wilderness, he came at length to the mountain of the [true] God,+ to Hoʹreb.+

18 Accordingly Moses went and returned to Jethʹro* his father-in-law and said to him:+ “I want to go, please, and return to my brothers who are in Egypt that I may see whether they are still alive.”+ So Jethʹro said to Moses: “Go in peace.”+

18 Now Jethʹro the priest of Midʹi·an, Moses’ father-in-law,*+ got to hear about all that God had done for Moses and for Israel his people, how Jehovah had brought Israel out of Egypt.+

29 Then Moses said to Hoʹbab the son of Reuʹel+ the Midʹi·an·ite, the father-in-law of Moses:* “We are pulling away for the place about which Jehovah said, ‘I shall give it to YOU.’+ Do come with us, and we shall certainly do good to you,+ because Jehovah has spoken good concerning Israel.”+
