‏ Exodus 18:12

v. 12: Jethro, as a priest of Midian, offered burnt offerings and sacrifices to God. Moses and the elders of Israel joined him in a meal before God . Even though Jethro was not an Israelite, he was welcomed to worship and share in the blessings. Sharing meals and worship with others brings people closer to each other and to God. They ate together in God’s presence, thankfully and with respect, as we should also do (1 Corinthians 10:31 a).
