Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

7. Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, &c.-Their salutations would be marked by all the warm and social greetings of Oriental friends (see on [20]Ex 4:27)-the one going out to "meet" the other, the "obeisance," the "kiss" on each side of the head, the silent entrance into the tent for consultation; and their conversation ran in the strain that might have been expected of two pious men, rehearsing and listening to a narrative of the wonderful works and providence of God.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

18:7-12 Conversation concerning God's wondrous works is good, and edifies. Jethro not only rejoiced in the honour done to his son-in-law, but in all the goodness done to Israel. Standers-by were more affected with the favours God had showed to Israel, than many were who received them. Jethro gave the glory to Israel's God. Whatever we have the joy of, God must have the praise. They joined in a sacrifice of thanksgiving. Mutual friendship is sanctified by joint worship. It is very good for relations and friends to join in the spiritual sacrifice of prayer and praise, as those that meet in Christ. This was a temperate feast; they did eat bread, manna. Jethro must see and taste that bread from heaven, and though a gentile, is welcome: the gentiles are welcomed to Christ the Bread of life.

Genesis 29:13 So when Laban heard the news of Jacob his sister's son, he ran to meet him, and embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his house. Then he related to Laban all these things.

Genesis 43:26 When Joseph came home, they brought into the house to him the present which was in their hand and bowed to the ground before him.

Genesis 43:27 Then he asked them about their welfare, and said, "Is your old father well, of whom you spoke? Is he still alive?"

Genesis 43:28 They said, "Your servant our father is well; he is still alive." They bowed down in homage.

Exodus 4:27 Now the LORD said to Aaron, "Go to meet Moses in the wilderness." So he went and met him at the mountain of God and kissed him.
