Moses was taking care of the flock of his father- in- law Jethro. Jethro was the priest of Midian. Moses led the flock to the western side of the desert. He came to Horeb. It was the mountain of God.

Then Moses went back to his father- in- law Jethro. He said to him,“ Let me return to my own people in Egypt. I want to see if any of them are still alive.” Jethro said,“ Go. I hope everything goes well with you.”

Moses spoke to Hobab, the son of Reuel. Reuel was Moses’ father- in- law. Reuel was from Midian. Moses said to Hobab,“ We’re starting out for the place the Lord promised to us. He said to us,‘ I will give it to you.’ So come with us. We’ll treat you well. The Lord has promised to give good things to Israel.”

Moses’ father- in- law Jethro was the priest of Midian. He heard about everything God had done for Moses and for his people Israel. Jethro heard how the Lord had brought Israel out of Egypt.Moses had sent his wife Zipporah to his father- in- law. So Jethro welcomed herand her two sons. One son was named Gershom. That’s because Moses had said,“ I’m an outsider in a strange land.”The other was named Eliezer. That’s because Moses had said,“ My father’s God helped me. He saved me from Pharaoh’s sword.”Moses’ father- in- law Jethro came to Moses in the desert. Moses’ sons and wife came with Jethro. Moses was camped near the mountain of God.Jethro had sent a message to him. It said,“ I, your father- in- law Jethro, am coming to you. I’m bringing your wife and her two sons.”So Moses went out to meet his father- in- law. Moses bowed down and kissed him. They greeted each other. Then they went into the tent.Moses told Jethro everything the Lord had done to Pharaoh and the Egyptians. The Lord did all of this because of how much he loved Israel. Moses told Jethro about all their hard times along the way. He told him about how the Lord had saved them.Jethro was delighted to hear about all the good things the Lord had done for Israel. He heard about how God had saved them from the power of the Egyptians.He said,“ I praise the Lord. He saved you and your people from the power of the Egyptians and of Pharaoh.Now I know that the Lord is greater than all other gods. See what he did to those who looked down on Israel.”Then Moses’ father- in- law Jethro brought a burnt offering and other sacrifices to God. Aaron came with all the elders of Israel. They ate a meal with Moses’ father- in- law in the sight of God.

But what if those who are‘ unclean’ do not make themselves pure and‘ clean?’ Then they must be separated from the community. They have made my holy tent‘ unclean.’ The special water has not been sprinkled on them. They are‘ unclean.’
