| WHO WAS MOSES' FATHER IN LAW? |
| Exodus 3:1 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in
law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the
desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. (KJV)
Numbers 10:29 And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses' father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the LORD said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the LORD hath spoken good concerning Israel. (KJV)
|
| Jethro and Hobab were the same person. "Jethro" is actually a title (Hebrew "Yithrow"), not a proper name, meaning "his excellence". Not a contradiction. |
