King James Bible
"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."
Moses' father-in-law, a Midianite priest, responds with genuine joy to hearing about God's mighty acts. His reaction demonstrates that even non-Israelites could recognize and celebrate the LORD's power and goodness. Jethro's joy encompasses the full scope of divine benevolence—not just the exodus itself but all the miraculous provisions and protections along the way. The term 'goodness' emphasizes God's gracious character revealed through these saving acts. This phrase specifies the pinnacle of God's goodness: liberation from Egyptian bondage. The imagery of being delivered from Egypt's 'hand' underscores the transfer from oppressive human power to divine protection.
