Besides this in the .x. chap. of Num. Hobab was desired of Moses, to come & go with the Israelites, whether they went: who refused to go any farther, because he was minded to return home into his country. For he was left there of his father to be better instructed in the worshipping of God, and he abode with the Israelites till they were ready to depart thence, And then he thought to have returned into his country: but being desired of Moses, he consented at length to journey forth with the Israelites. But these things could not have been so, if we should think ye Hobab had been Jethro, which after he had divided & set his things in order should have returned again to Moses, with the mind & purpose to have gone forward with the Israelites. For what needed Moses to have entreated him to do that, for which cause he came from his own house to do? Or why should he have changed his purpose to return into his own country, which he had before utterly forsaken? Lastly why should he afterward have denied to go, which he had before decreed with himself to do? I know in deed there be some but not many which affirm, that Jethro was that Hobab with whom Moses spake in the book of Num. which thing let them affirm for me, howbeit I thought good to declare what I judged most likely.
Besides this in the .x. chap. of Num. Hobab was desired of Moyses, to come & go with the Israelites, whether they went: who refused to goe any farther, bycause he was mynded to returne home into his countrey. For he was left there of his father to be better instructed in the worshippyng of God, and he abode with the Israelites tyll they were readye to depart thence, And then he thought to haue returned into his countrey: but being desired of Moyses, he consented at length to iourney forth with ye Israelits. But these things could not haue bene so, if we should thinke ye Hobab had bene Iethro, which after he had deuided & set his things in order should haue returned againe to Moyses, with ye minde & purpose to haue gone forward with ye Israelits. For what neded Moyses to haue entreated hym to do that, for which cause he came from hys owne house to doe? Or why shoulde he haue chaunged hys purpose to retourne into hys owne countreye, whiche he had before vtterly forsaken? Lastly why shoulde he afterwarde haue denyed to goe, which he had before decreed with hymself to do? I know in deede there be some but not many which affyrme, that Iethro was that Hobab with whom Moyses spake in the booke of Num. which thyng let thē affyrme for me, howbeit I thought good to declare what I iudged most likely.
