Yitro : ウィキペディア英語版
Jethro (Bible)

In the Old Testament or the Hebrew Bible, Jethro (; , Standard ''Yitro'' Tiberian (unicode:''Yiṯrô''); "His Excellence/Posterity"; Arabic ''Shu-ayb'') or Reuel was Moses' father-in-law, a Kenite shepherd and priest of Midian.〔Harris, Stephen L., Understanding the Bible. Palo Alto: Mayfield. 1985.〕 In Exodus, Moses' father-in-law is initially referred to as "Reuel" (Exodus 2:18) but then as "Jethro" (Exodus 3:1). He was the father of Hobab in the Book of Numbers 10:29.〔http://www.mechon-mamre.org/p/pt/pt0704.htm#11〕 He is also recognized in Islam as a prophet.
==In Exodus==

Jethro is called a Cushite priest of Midian and became father-in-law of Moses after he gave his daughter, Zipporah, in marriage to Moses. He is introduced in .
Jethro is recorded as living in Midian, a territory stretching along the eastern edge of the Gulf of Aqaba in what is today northwestern Saudi Arabia. Some believe Midian is within the Sinai Peninsula. Biblical maps from antiquity show Midian on both locations.
Jethro's daughter, Zipporah, became Moses's wife after Moses had fled Egypt, having killed an Egyptian who was beating a Hebrew slave. Having fled to Midian, Moses intervened in a water-access dispute between Jethro's seven daughters and the local shepherds; Jethro consequently invited Moses into his home and offered him hospitality. However, Moses remained conscious that he was a stranger in exile, naming his first son (Jethro's grandson) "Gershom", meaning "stranger there".
Moses is said to have worked as a shepherd for Jethro for 40 years before returning to Egypt to lead the Hebrews to Canaan, the "promised land". After the Battle at Rephidim against the Amalekites, word reached Jethro that under Moses' leadership the Israelites had been delivered out of Egypt, so he set out to meet with Moses. They met in the wilderness at the "Mountain of God";〔Exod 18:5〕 Moses recounted to Jethro all that had taken place, and then, according to Exodus 18:9-12a:
Following this event, it was Jethro who encouraged Moses to appoint others to share in the burden of ministry to the nation Israel by allowing others to help in the judgment of smaller matters coming before him.
These events take place in the Torah portion Yitro (Exodus 18:1-20:23).
