However, the concept of wise counsel and leadership can be related to Greek terms like σοφία (sophia, G4678) for wisdom.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Jethro is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to the father-in-law of Moses. He is also known as Reuel in some passages. Jethro is depicted as a Midianite priest and a wise counselor to Moses.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Jethro was a Midianite, a descendant of Abraham through his wife Keturah. The Midianites were a nomadic people living in the region east of the Red Sea. As a priest of Midian, Jethro held a significant religious and social position. His relationship with Moses is notable for its cross-cultural and interfaith dimensions, as he provided guidance and support to Moses, who was leading the Israelites out of Egypt.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/3498.htm">yathar</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>Moses' father-in-law<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Jethro (9).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">יִתְרוֺ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>father of Moses' wife</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/exodus/3-1.htm">Exodus 3:1</a>; <a href="/interlinear/exodus/4-18.htm">Exodus 4:18</a>; b <a href="/interlinear/exodus/18-1.htm">Exodus 18:1</a>,2,5,6,9,10,12 (all E), = <font class="hebrew2">יֶתֶר</font> <a href="/interlinear/exodus/4-18.htm">Exodus 4:18</a>; in all <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ιοθορ</font>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Jethro <p>From <a href="/hebrew/3499.htm">yether</a> with pron.
