Glancing Through the Scriptures!

(KJV.)  EXODUS 4:15-20

Moses returns to Egypt.

(15)  And thou shalt speak unto him, and put words in his mouth:  and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do.

(16)  And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: and he shall be, even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead of God.

(17)  And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs.

(18)  And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law, and said unto him;  Let me go, I pray thee, and return unto my brethren which are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet alive.  And Jethro said to Moses.  Go in peace.

(19)  And the LORD said unto Moses in Midian,  Go, return into Egypt, for all the men are dead which sought thy life.

(20)  And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt, and Moses took the rod of God in his hand.

ADDENDUM

Why didn't Moses tell Jethro his father-in-law the truth about his expedition to the Egyptian's land?
