NOW when Raguel, Moses's father-in-law, understood in what a prosperous
condition his affairs were, he willingly came to meet him. And Moses and
his children, and pleased himself with his coming. And when he had offered
sacrifice, he made a feast for the multitude, near the Bush he had formerly
seen; which multitude, every one according to their families, partook of
the feast. But Aaron and his family took Raguel, and sung hymns to God,
as to Him who had been the author procurer of their deliverance and their
freedom. They also praised their conductor, as him by whose virtue it was
that all things had succeeded with them. Raguel also, in his eucharistical
oration to Moses, made great encomiums upon the whole multitude; and he
could not but admire Moses for his fortitude, and that humanity he had
shewn in the delivery of his friends.
