Exodus 2.3 Reuel the Jethro of Midian

Scripture with the Fathers · Jan 20, 2026 · 20m

We go into detail about Moses fleeing into Midian. Where is Midian, and why is that location called Midian? Why would, in God's providence have Moses wind up in Midian as opposed to somewhere else? Who is Reuel, the priest of Midian. Was he a priest of some polytheistic pagan religion or something else? God's thread of his holy ones meeting their wives at water wells continues with Moses as it had with Issac and Jacob.
