Commentary on Exodus 18:7

Theological / Devotional

Moses went out. Oriental courtesy required such conduct in case of an honored, or even a welcome, visitor (see Gen. 18:2; 19:1; Luke 15:20; etc.). It was evidently Moses’ intention to receive Jethro with all possible honor and respect. He not only went out to meet him but bowed before him as before a superior.
