  “摩西将耶和华为以色列的缘故向法老和埃及人所行的一切事，以及路上所遭遇的一切艰难，并耶和华怎样搭救他们，都述说与他岳父听。叶忒罗因耶和华待以色列的一切好处，就是拯救他们脱离埃及人的手，便甚欢喜”（出18:8,9）。[1]

  And Moses told his father in law all that the Lord had done unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel’s sake, and all the travail that had come upon them by the way, and how the Lord delivered them. And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which the Lord had done to Israel, whom He had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians.Exodus 18:8, 9.{RRe 279.1}[1]

  摩西的岳父叶忒罗的家与这时以色列人安营的地方相离不远。叶忒罗已听到希伯来人蒙拯救的经过，这时他就动身前来探望他们，并带来摩西的妻子和两个儿子。他们来到的时候，就有使者去通知伟大的领袖摩西。他便快乐地出来迎接他们。寒暄既毕，他便领他们到他的帐棚里来。从前摩西还没有去领以色列人出埃及的冒险之前，他在路上就打发家眷回米甸去。而现在他能再享受与家人团聚的天伦之乐了。摩西向叶忒罗述说上帝为以色列所行奇妙的作为，叶忒罗很是快乐，并颂赞上帝。他与摩西和众长老一同献祭，并举行一次庄严的宴会来纪念上帝的恩典。（PP 300）[2]

  Not far distant from where the Israelites were now encamped was the home of Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses. Jethro had heard of the deliverance of the Hebrews, and he now set out to visit them, and restore to Moses his wife and two sons. The great leader was informed by messengers of their approach, and he went out with joy to meet them, and, the first greetings over, conducted them to his tent. He had sent back his family when on his way to the perils of leading Israel from Egypt, but now he could again enjoy the relief and comfort of their society. To Jethro he recounted the wonderful dealings of God with Israel, and the patriarch rejoiced and blessed the Lord, and with Moses and the elders he united in offering sacrifice, and holding a solemn feast in commemoration of God’s mercy.—Patriarchs and Prophets, 300.{RRe 279.2}[2]
