Exegesis
The coordinated veishtekha {וְאִשְׁתְּךָ | wə-ʾiš-te-kā} ‘and your wife’ and ushnei vaneha {וּשְׁנֵי בָנֶיהָ | ū-šə-nê bā-nê-hā} ‘and her two sons’ proceed without an explicit verb, relying on the participle.
In context — Exodus 18:6
And he said to Moses, “I, your father-in-law Jethro , am coming to you, and your wife and her two sons are with her.”
