He said to Moses, “I, your father-in-law Jethro, have come to you with your wife, and her two sons with her.”

EXPLANATION

Verse 6. Word. Hebrew “And he said unto Moses, I, &chapter 7. And Moses went out to meet,” and so forth which seems very strange, after he had been just talking with him. The authors of the Septuagint and Syr. read behold, instead of I. “It was told Moses. Behold thy,” and so forth Kennicott observes, that five Samaritan copies retain ene, “behold,” instead of ani, “I,” and thus obviate the nonsense which disturbs the reader of the present Hebrew.
