Exodus 4:18-20

18Then Moses went back to his father-in-law, Jethro, and said to him, “Please let me return to my relatives in Egypt and see if they are still living.” Jethro said to Moses, “Go in peace.”

19Now in Midian the Lord told Moses, “Return to Egypt, for all the men who wanted to kill you are dead.”

20So Moses took his wife and sons, put them on a donkey, and returned to the land of Egypt. And Moses took God’s staff in his hand.
