JETHRO (or JETHER, Exod. iv. 18)

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 359 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: JEE-JUN
JETHRO (or JETHER, Exod. iv. 18) , the priest of
Midian
 , in the Bible, whose daughter Zipporah became the wife of Moses. He is known as Hobab the son of Reuel the Kenite (Num. x. 29; Judg. iv. I I), and once as Reuel (Exod. ii. 18) ; and if Zipporah is the wife of Moses referred to in Num. xii. I, the family could be regarded as Cushite (see
CusH
 ).
Jethro
  was the priest of Yahweh, and resided at the sacred mountain where the deity commissioned Moses to deliver the Israelites from
Egypt
 . Subsequently
Jethro
  came to Moses (probably at Kadesh), a
great
  sacrificial feast was held, and the priest instructed Moses in legislative procedure; Exod. xviii. 27 (see EXODUS) and Num. x. 3o imply that the scene was not
Sinai
 . Jethro was invited to accompany the people into the promised land, and later, we find his clan settling in the
south
  of Judah (Judg. i. 16); see KENITES. The traditions agree in representing the kin of Moses as related to the mixed tribes of the
south
  of Palestine (see EDoal) and in ascribing to the family an important share in the early development of the
worship
  of Yahweh.
Cheyne
  suggests that the names of Hobab and of Jonadab the father of the Rechabites (q.v.) were originally identical (Ency. Bib. ii. col. 2101).
