ENFJ, The Giver, The Mentor, The Believer
Jethro and the Queen make nice back-to-back mini-profile entries. As an ENFJ and INFJ respectively, they mirror each other, sharing the same first two functions, but flipped. This makes Jethro the more outgoing of the two, led as he is by Extraverted Feeling, but both act as mentor figures to Moses with insight and genuine care.
Dominant Function: Fe/Extraverted Feeling, “Relate to the Experience”
Just as Moses gets out of the bath, Jethro barrels into the tent and hugs him, literally lifting him up with joy. He welcomes Moses into his family despite his past, and showers him with generosity, love, and encouragement. Jethro leads the festivities when we see him and his people celebrating a feast around the bonfire. As High Priest of Midian, he acts as the focal point of his people’s good spirits and sense of community, even as they live as nomads in the desert.
In a scene played out in silhouettes, Jethro seems to resolve a dispute between Moses and Zipporah by deciding that they should be married.
Auxiliary Function: Ni/Introverted Intuition, “Anticipate the Experience”
Jethro’s song, “Through Heaven’s Eyes,” introduces Moses to new, higher perspective. Whereas Moses sees only pain and confusion in his life, Jethro sees a tapestry weaving together a greater pattern. He uses several bits of symbolism and metaphor to help Moses understand his life—a small rock cannot see the larger mountain it’s a part of, and so on—and encourages Moses to believe that his life still has a meaning and purpose that will one day reveal itself.
