Exodus 4:18 | Pastor Burns' Study Notes
And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father in law, and said unto him, Let me go, I pray thee, and return unto my brethren which are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace. — Exodus 4:18

Moses returns to Jethro and asks permission to go back to Egypt. Jethro responds, “Go in peace.”
This marks a turning point. After all the objections, Moses finally goes. The text emphasizes action. Faith is not proven merely by feeling convinced, but by moving in obedience.
Moses does not fully explain everything to Jethro, but he does begin the journey. God not only called him and equipped him, but also smoothed the way by giving Jethro peace about the matter.
