Exodus 4:21-31
21And the Lord said to Moses, “When you go back to Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the amiracles that I have put in your power. But bI will harden his heart, so that he will not let the people go. 22Then you shall say to Pharaoh, ‘Thus says the Lord, cIsrael is my dfirstborn son, 23and I say to you, “Let my son go that he may serve me.” If you refuse to let him go, behold, I ewill kill your firstborn son.’”24At a lodging place on the way fthe Lord met him and gsought to put him to death. 25Then hZipporah took a iflint and cut off her son’s foreskin and touched Moses’ ▼
▼Hebrew his
feet with it and said, “Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me!” 26So he let him alone. It was then that she said, “A bridegroom of blood,” because of the circumcision. 27The Lord said to Aaron, “Go into the wilderness kto meet Moses.” So he went and met him at the lmountain of God and kissed him. 28And Moses mtold Aaron all the words of the Lord with which he had sent him to speak, and all nthe signs that he had commanded him to do. 29Then Moses and Aaron owent and gathered together all the elders of the people of Israel. 30 pAaron spoke all the words that the Lord had spoken to Moses and did the signs in the sight of the people. 31And the people qbelieved; and when they heard that the Lord had rvisited the people of Israel and that he had sseen their affliction, tthey bowed their heads and worshiped.
