| Exodus 2:16
| And the priest of Madian had seven daughters, who came to draw water: and when the troughs were filled, desired to water their father's flocks.
| Priest. Hebrew cohen, (or cen,) means also a prince, as the Chaldean has it. When put in this manner, with the name of a place, it is generally taken in this sense. But formerly kings were also priests. Jethro served the true God, like Job, in the midst of a perverse generation, and offered sacrifice to him, when he joined the camp of the Israelites, Exodus 18:11. (Calmet)
