Jethro (יִתְרוֹ "His excellence/posterity," Standard Hebrew Yitro, Tiberian Hebrew Yiṯrô) is a figure from the Hebrew Bible. He is called a priest of Midian, and he becomes father-in-law to Moses. Jethro, also known as "Reuel," is recorded as living in Midian, a territory stretching from east of the Dead Sea south onto the Sinai. He was likely a descendant of Abraham through Abraham's son named Midian. Jethro's daughter, Zipporah, becomes Moses's wife after Moses flees Egypt, having killed an Egyptian who was beating a Hebrews slave. Moses is said to have worked as a shepherd for Jethro for 40 years before returning to Egypt to lead the Hebrews to Canaan, the "promised land". What we know concerning Jethro is recorded in the Book of Exodus. Jethro is also considered by many to be synonymous with Shoaib, the Muslim prophet. For some reason this particular figure's history is quite convoluted in Muslim sources as compared to that of Judaeo-Christian. Possible reasons for this might be found at Sabians, Midian. Note that the article on Sabians indicates that Mohammed was in fact a Sabian. Also, Jethro (Yitro) is one of the books of the Zohar. The Druze consider Jethro to be an important biblical prophet.

I do not know if you are watching Brianism Talk, but it is fair that you should see this: [http://www.brianism.org/wikipedia.htm An Open Letter from Rex Mundi, co-founder of Brianism.] In view of this, I have changed my vote to Delete. Link has apparently been "e-mailed to participants in the discussion", but not posted on WP by the writer - which is why I am doing it. I also do not see how the writer would have all the e-mail addresses involved. Kind regards, User:Anjouli 13:56, 16 Jan 2004 (UTC)
