How can Jethro’s family convert to Judaism when the tribe of Judah was not the “religious ideal” of the time. Also the Torah call him a priest already. Does this imply that he already believed in the Torah but not in the form that it was introduced by Moshe?

Dear Isaac,
You have wonderful questions! Although I have some idea of how I would like to answer, please allow me time to do some research.
If you would like, you can subscribe to this RSS feed for this post, or bookmark it to check back for my response, which I hope to post this week.
Can you explain to me what you mean by “the tribe of Judah was not the ‘religious ideal of the time.’”?
Thank you.
