Moses is talking to a man named Hobab. There is some dispute over just who this man is. Some think he is Moses' brother in law. Others think Hobab is another name for Moses' father in law Jethro. I lean toward the latter interpretation because of Judges 4:11. In that verse, Hobab is called "the father in law of Moses." We know from Exodus 18 that Jethro had visited Moses and the children of Israel. He had been a blessing and he had received a blessing. He had also given Moses a great piece of wisdom concerning how he was leading the people of Israel. In this passage, Israel is leaving their encampment at the foot of Mount Sinai. While they were there, they received the Law, built the Tabernacle and learned how to worship the Lord God. Now, they are breaking camp and heading toward Canaan. Before they leave, Moses takes the time to invite Jethro, or Hobab, to go with them to their destination.
