Exodus 18:7

Moses went out to meet his father-in-law and bowed down and kissed him; ¹  they each asked about the other’s welfare, and then they went into the tent.

Ge 14:17; Ge 18:2; Ge 19:1; Ge 29:13; Ge 31:28; Ge 33:3-7; Ge 33:4; Ge 43:27; Ge 45:15; Ge 46:29; Nu 22:36; Jud 11:34; 2Sa 11:7; 1Ki 2:19; Ps 2:12; Lu 7:45; Ac 20:37; Ac 28:15

¹ sn This is more than polite oriental custom. Jethro was Moses’ benefactor, father-in-law, and a priest. He paid much respect to him. Now he could invite Jethro into his home (see B. Jacob, Exodus, 496).
