Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, was affiliated with the religion of Midianism.
Jethro gave Moses his daughter Zipporah to be his wife.
The shepherds were from the tribe of Midian, and Jethro's daughters were being harassed by them at a well when Moses intervened and saved them. Jethro, also known as Reuel, was a priest of Midian and father-in-law to Moses.
Moses got water for the sheep of Jethro, as his daughters were looking after them. He then married one of Jethro daughters.
Jethro took Moses in as a guest when Moses had to flee Egypt. He gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses in marriage (Exodus ch.2). Later, Jethro brought Moses' family to him in the wilderness (Exodus ch.18). At that time, he suggested to Moses the idea of appointing judges/officers for the Israelites (ibid).
Moses first lived in Egypt, then with Jethro.
Moses was married to Jethro's daughter.
No, Jethro wasn't a Hebrew or a Jew. He was a Midianite.
A:The Bible describes Jethro as from Midian, which was to the east of the Gulf of Aqaba.
Jethro was the father of Moses' wife (Exodus ch.2 and ch.18).See also:more about Moses
Moses did not have a "stepfather-in-law" since his wife, Zipporah, never had a stepfather. Moses' father-in-law was Jethro.
