Are reuel and jethro the same person in exodus?

Reuel is the given name. Jethro would be the title... as far as I can understand: Here's further explanation from: http://www.christiananswers.net/dictionary/reuel.html Jethro meaning "excellency" pertains to Reuel's office.


Who was Reuel priest of Midian?

Reuel (Ex 2:18) was the father-in-law of Moses more commonly known as Jethro (Ex 3:1).


Was Zipporah Midianite?

Most likely no. Her father was a priest of Midian, it didn't say they were Midianites. Her father's names give us a hint on their ancestry. The name, Jethro means "His Excellency," and is a title. His other name is Reuel....there is another man named Reuel in the Bible. Esau married a woman named Basemath, she was the daughter of Ishmael and a Hittite lady. We know this as she is mentioned in Gen. 26:34, "...and Basemath, the daughter of Elon the Hittite.." Elon is most likely Basemath's mother's father. In Gen.36:3, she is mentioned again as the daughter of Ishmael, in the next verse, we learn Esau and Basemath had a son, Reuel....by Zipporah's father being called Reuel, this gives us a hint, her family is most likely the descendants of Esau and Basemath. There is a slim chance they are descendants of Midian, son of Abraham and his third wife, Keturah. If they are descendants of Esau and Basemath, this makes sense why Zipporah is not mentioned in the genealogies in Gen.6, or why her sons were not given important positions, as they were part Egyptian, part Hebrew, and part Hittite. Zipporah's father's real name was Hobab, (Judges 4: 11) and his son was named after him (Numbers 10:29), of course, the confusion of Zipporah's father and brother means that Heber descended from Hobab, the son of Reuel/Jethro/Hobab, therefore are descendants of Moses' father-in-law. If this is true of them descending from Esau, Zipporah and Moses' sons would have Levite or Hebrew blood as well as foreign Egyptian and Hittite blood. Very amazing-Moses was a Prince of Egypt, adopted son of Pharaoh's daughter, his wife, Zipporah may have Egyptian roots and his sons may also have Egyptians roots as well. However, this explains why they were not given important positions in the Levite tribe and why Zipporah is not mentioned in the Genelogies in Ex.6.
