Exodus 4:18-23

18Then MosesH4872 wentH1980 backH7725 toH413 his father-in-lawH2859 JethroH35001 and saidH559 to him, “PleaseH4994 let me returnH7725H1980 toH413 my brothersH251 in EgyptH4714 to seeH7200 if they are stillH5750 aliveH2416.”

“GoH1980 in peaceH7965,” Jethro repliedH559H3503H4872.

19Now the LORDH3068 had saidH559 toH413 MosesH4872 in MidianH4080, “GoH1980 backH7725 to EgyptH4714, forH3588 allH3605 the menH582 who soughtH1245 to kill youH5315 are deadH4191.” 20So MosesH4872 tookH3947 his wifeH802 and sonsH1121, put themH7392 onH5921 a donkeyH2543, and headed backH7725 to EgyptH776H4714. AndH4872 he tookH3947 the staffH4294 of GodH430 in his handH3027.

21The LORDH3068H413 instructedH559 MosesH4872, “When you goH1980 backH7725 to EgyptH4714, see thatH7200 you performH6213 beforeH6440 PharaohH6547 allH3605 the wondersH4159 thatH834 I have putH7760 within your powerH3027. But IH589 will hardenH23882 his heartH3820 so that he will notH3808 let the peopleH5971 goH7971.

22Then tellH559H413 PharaohH6547 that this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559: ‘IsraelH3478 is My firstbornH1060 sonH1121, 23and I told youH559H413 to let My sonH1121 goH7971 so that he may worship MeH5647. But since you have refusedH3985 to let him goH7971, beholdH2009, IH595 will killH2026 your firstbornH1060 sonH1121!’”
