King James Bible
"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."
Moses recounts to Jethro (his Midianite father-in-law) God's mighty acts against Egypt, emphasizing these judgments were specifically for Israel's benefit. This testimony highlights God's covenant faithfulness and serves as witness to a non-Israelite of Yahweh's supreme power over the world's greatest empire. Moses doesn't omit the hardships faced during the wilderness journey—likely including water shortages, food scarcity, and enemy attacks. This honest reporting shows that divine deliverance doesn't mean absence of trials but God's presence through them. The narrative culminates with God's repeated rescues, presenting a pattern of divine intervention. This final phrase frames all events—both triumphs over Egypt and wilderness survival—as evidence of Yahweh's ongoing salvation, preparing Jethro's heart for his response of worship in the following verses.
