וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֔ה אֲנִ֛י חֹתֶנְךָ֥ יִתְר֖וֹ בָּ֣א אֵלֶ֑יךָ וְאִ֨שְׁתְּךָ֔ וּשְׁנֵ֥י בָנֶ֖יהָ עִמָּֽהּ׃
Ia berkata kepada Musa, “Aku, Yitro, mertuamu, datang kepadamu, bersama istrimu dan kedua anak laki-lakinya yang menyertainya.”
Mekhilta DeRabbi Yishmael
(Exodus 18:5) "and Yithro, Moses' father-in-law, and his sons and his wife came to Moses": Now is it not already written (Ibid. 6) "and your wife and her two sons with her"? — I might think that these were her sons from another. It is, therefore, written "and his sons and his wife came to Moses": They were Moses' sons and not another's.
Mekhilta DeRabbi Yishmael
(Ibid. 6) "And he said to Moses: I, your father-in-law, Yithro, am coming to you; and your wife and her two sons with her": R. Yehoshua says: He wrote this to him in a letter.
Midrash Tanchuma
Now Jethro, the priest of Midian, heard (Exod. 18:1). Scripture says elsewhere in reference to this verse: The wise shall inherit honor; but as for the fools, they carry away shame (Prov. 3:35). The wise shall inherit honor refers to Jethro at the time he came to Moses. How very great, indeed, was the honor accorded him! And He said unto Moses: “I, thy father-in-law, Jethro” (Exod. 18:6). R. Joshua held that Jethro sent a messenger to inform him (of his coming). R. Eleazar of Modi’im declared: He sent him a letter stating: “Do it (welcome me) for my sake, but if not for my sake, do it for the sake of your wife, but if not for her sake, then do it for the sake of your children.”
