Exodus 4:24-26
Exodus 4:24-31: The Circumcision of the Son of Moses This passage tells how God met Moses on his way to Egypt and confronted him because he had not circumcised his son. It shows that God expects those He calls to obey His commands fully, even in family matters. Moses’ wife Zipporah performed the circumcision, ending the danger to Moses. After this, Moses and Aaron united, shared God’s message with the Israelites, and the people believed and worshipped. This story teaches the importance of obedience and how God prepares His servants for their work.vv. 24-26: On the journey, the Lord met Moses and was about to kill him because his son was not circumcised (vv. 24-26 a). Moses had neglected this important command, maybe because of his wife’s influence. Zipporah quickly circumcised their son, and God let Moses go. Sometimes God shows strong displeasure when we neglect His commands, but He is ready to forgive when we obey. – –
