“And Moses told his father in law all that the Lord had done unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel’s sake, and all the travail that had come upon them by the way, and how the Lord delivered them.”
Moses told his father-in-law about everything the Lord had done to Pharaoh and the Egyptians for Israel's sake and about all the hardships they had encountered along the way and how the Lord had saved them. Moses recounts the entire Exodus — the plagues, the sea, the wilderness hardships, the deliverances. The telling is comprehensive: everything the Lord had done. The hardships are included alongside the deliverances — Moses does not curate a highlight reel but gives Jethro the full picture. This honest reporting is itself a form of testimony: the God whose acts are worth telling is also the God who is present through difficulty, not only triumph. Psalm 105 and 106 both rehearse the Exodus story with the same comprehensiveness.
