Jethro, Reuel : Moses's Father-in-Law
Nothing more is known of Jethro's wife except that she bore Jethro seven daughters. It was also said Moses became a shepherd for the next 40 years after he fled from Egypt. While on one instance, his venture landed him on Horeb, also known as the mountain of God. Some say its another name that denote Mount Sinai but that's not the key point.
In calling His servants, God oftentimes can use extraordinary phenomenon and signs to draw our attention to Him. It can be a "personal crisis", an event that draws our focus to nothing else but him. To which, Moses would say, let me ponder over this and reflect upon it. Now, its interesting to note that a choice was still given to Moses.
He can choose to ignore it and walk away. Only when God saw that Moses (or us) turned to it that he then decided to call upon him. Interesting? Yes.
