‎**וַיֹּאמֶר** יִתְרוֹ לְמֹשֶׁה לֵךְ לְשָׁלוֹם. אַתָּה מוֹצֵא, כָּל מִי שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר בּוֹ: לֵךְ לְשָׁלוֹם, הוֹלֵךְ וְחוֹזֵר. וְכָל מִי שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר בּוֹ: לֵךְ בְּשָׁלוֹם, הָלַךְ וְלֹא חָזַר. מִנַּיִן? וַיִּשְׁלַח דָּוִד אֶת אַבְנֵר וַיֵּלֶךְ בְּשָׁלוֹם (ש״‎ב ג, כא). הָלַךְ וְלֹא חָזַר. וְיִתְרוֹ שֶׁאָמַר לְמֹשֶׁה לֵךְ לְשָׁלוֹם, הָלַךְ וְחָזַר.

**Midrash Tanhuma-Yelammedenu, trans. Samuel A. Berman:**
**And Jethro said to Moses: “Go for peace” (Exod. 3:18).** You find that everyone about whom it is written *Go for peace* departs and returns in peace, and that everyone concerning whom it is said *Go in peace* departs but does not return (in peace). Jethro said to Moses: *Go for peace*. And he departed and he returned in peace.
