WildernessPriestMidianitesKenites

Priest of Midian; father-in-law of Moses. Hosted Moses during his forty-year exile and gave him Zipporah in marriage. Counseled Moses to delegate judicial authority (Exodus 18). Called Reuel in Exodus 2:18 and Jethro from Exodus 3 onward.

Curation status: Primeval (Genesis 1–11), patriarchs (Genesis 12–50), Exodus/Numbers, Joshua/Judges/Ruth, the united and divided monarchies (Saul, David, all kings of Judah and Israel), the writing prophets, post-exilic figures (Zerubbabel, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther), the Holy Family, John the Baptist, the Twelve, and the early apostolic generation are all in. 2,781figures curated so far. The remaining named biblical figures (priestly genealogies in 1 Chronicles, the post-exile lists in Ezra/Nehemiah, the obscure persons in Acts and the epistles) are pending. Every claim is rigorously sourced; gaps mean “not yet curated”, not “not in scripture”.
