King James Bible
"And Moses let his father in law depart; and he went his way into his own land."
Moses releases Jethro to return home after his visit, during which Jethro advised Moses on delegation and judicial structure. The verb 'let depart' suggests a formal farewell with Moses's blessing, honoring the wisdom Jethro shared. Jethro returns to Midian, his homeland east of the Gulf of Aqaba, where he serves as a priest. His departure marks the end of a significant mentoring relationship, as he leaves the Israelites to continue their wilderness journey without his direct guidance.
