- Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Yitro, Yithro, or Yisro (יתרו — Hebrew for “Jethro,” the second word and first distinctive word in the parshah) is the seventeenth weekly Torah portion (parshah) in the annual Jewish cycle of Torah reading and the fifth in the book of Exodus. It constitutes Exodus 18:1–20:23. Jews in the Diaspora read it the seventeenth Sabbath after Simchat Torah, generally in late January or February. Jews also read part of the parshah, Exodus 19:1–20:23, as a Torah reading on the first day of the Jewish holiday of Shavuot, which commemorates the giving of the Ten Commandments. Moses' father–in–law Jethro heard all that God had done for the Israelites and brought Moses' wife Zipporah and her two sons Gershom (“I have been a stranger here”) and Eliezer (“God was my help") to Moses in the wilderness at Mount Sinai. (Exodus 18:1–5.) Jethro rejoiced, blessed God, and offered sacrifices to God. (Exodus 18:9–12.) The people stood from morning until evening waiting for Moses to adjudicate their disputes.
