Concise Bible Dictionary
:
Daughter
of
Reuel
, or
Jethro
, and wife of
Moses
. Apparently she circumcised her second
son
, and declared that Moses was “a
husband
of
blood
” to her. She had been sent back during the
tribulation
and
deliverance
of
Israel
, and then was brought by Jethro with her two sons to Moses. Jethro is a
type
of the Gentile rejoicing in the deliverance of Israel, and bringing back the loved
remnant
thereof in the
last days
(Ex. 2:21; Ex. 4:25; Ex. 18:2).
