What does Exodus 18:2 mean?

After Moses sent his family away (likely during the intense early days of his mission in Egypt), his father-in-law Jethro stepped in to care for Zipporah and their children. This shows Jethro's character as a man of responsibility and kindness, willing to welcome and support his daughter even during uncertain times. It also reminds us that sometimes our loved ones need the help of others when we're stretched thin by our calling, and that's not a failure, but a part of how God provides for us through community.
