What does jethro mean In exodus?

Answer 1

Exodus 24:1 NOW Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian. He was also called by the name Reuel.

See also Exodos 2: 18-19 And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to day?

And they said, An Egyptian(Moses) delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock.
Jethro was the father-in-law of Moses. He is also called Reuel. It is thought that Jethro may have been his title and Reuel as his given name.

He was also referred to as "the priest of Midian".

(Exodus 3:1) 3 Moses became a shepherd of the flock of his father-in-law Jethʹro, the priest of Midʹi·an. While he was leading the flock to the west side of the wilderness, he eventually came to the mountain of the true God, to Hoʹreb.

(Exodus 2:15, 16) 15 Then Pharʹaoh heard about it, and he attempted to kill Moses; but Moses ran away from Pharʹaoh and went to dwell in the land of Midʹi·an, and he sat down by a well. 16 Now the priest of Midʹi·an had seven daughters, and these came to draw water and to fill the troughs to water their father's flock.

(Numbers 10:29) 29 Then Moses said to Hoʹbab the son of Reuʹel the Midʹi·an·ite, the father-in-law of Moses:"We are setting out for the place about which Jehovah said, 'I will give it to you.' Do come with us, and we will treat you well, because Jehovah has promised good things for Israel."

Answer 2

Jethro was a Priest of Midian whose daughter, Zipporah, married Moses. There is some confusion over the name, as he is also referred to as Reuel in Exodus 2:16 and 2:18. In Judges 4:11 a man named Hobab is mentioned as Moses' father-in-law, although there is controversy over this, as some theologians believe that Hobab is a brother-in-law of Moses instead.

Answer 3

Jethro was Moses's father-in-law and one of Pharaoh's advisers. He wasn't linked to Abraham.
