What religious practice did Yitro/Jethro follow that he would be known as a priest before his conversion?
Is it known what religious practices or philosophy was followed by Jethro before his conversion? I respect that he was simply a "pagan," but what philosophy did he adhere to that would allow him to be identified as a priest (in any context)?
