Jethro is depicted as a Midianite priest and a wise counselor to Moses. Cultural and Historical Background: Jethro was a Midianite, a descendant of Abraham through his wife Keturah. The Midianites were a nomadic people living in the region east of the Red Sea. As a priest of Midian, Jethro held a significant religious and social position.
