Exodus 4:20-26

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 hardenH23881 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!’”

24Now at a lodging placeH4411 along the wayH1870, the LORDH1961H3068 metH6298 Moses2 and was aboutH1245 to kill himH4191. 25But ZipporahH6855 tookH3947 a flint knifeH6864, cut offH3772 her son’sH1121 foreskinH6190, and touched itH5060 to Moses’ feetH7272.3 “SurelyH3588 youH859 are a bridegroomH2860 of bloodH1818 to me,” she saidH559.

26So the LORD let him aloneH7503H4480. (WhenH227 she saidH559, “bridegroomH2860 of bloodH1818,” she was referring to the circumcisionH4139.)
