Jethro, also called Hobab and Reuel, was Moses’ father-in-law. It was Moses who invited Jethro to accompany Israel to the Promised Land (Numbers 10:29). And Moses said to Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law, “We are journeying to the place of which the LORD* said, ‘I shall give it to you.’ Come with us for yourself and we will do you good, for the LORD* has spoken good concerning Israel.”
