The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine): Cumque audisset Jethro, sacerdos Madian, cognatus Moysi, omnia quæ fecerat Deus Moysi, et Israëli populo suo, et quod eduxisset Dominus Israël de Ægypto,
Septuagint (Swete): Ἤκουσεν δὲ Ἰοθὸρ ὁ ἱερεὺς Μαδιὰμ ὁ γαμβρὸς Μωυσῆ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησεν Κύριος Ἰσραὴλ τῷ ἑαυτοῦ λαῷ· ἐξήγαγεν γὰρ Κύριος τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἐξ Αἰγύπτου.
Hebrew (WLC): וַיִּשְׁמַ֞ע יִתְר֨וֹ כֹהֵ֤ן מִדְיָן֙ חֹתֵ֣ן מֹשֶׁ֔ה אֵת֩ כָּל אֲשֶׁ֨ר עָשָׂ֤ה אֱלֹהִים֙ לְמֹשֶׁ֔ה וּלְיִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל עַמּ֑וֹ כִּֽי הוֹצִ֧יא יְהוָ֛ה אֶת יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מִמִּצְרָֽיִם

Haydock's commentary

Jethro. See chap. ii. 18.

Priest. Hebrew Cohen means also a prince. Both offices were performed by the heads of families, in the law of nature. (Worthington)

It is supposed that this interview took place later, and should be placed [after] Numbers x. 10. (Calmet)
