Exodus 4:21-31

21And the Lord said to Moses, “When you go 1back to Egypt, see that you perform before Pharaoh all 2the wonders which I have put in your 3power; but 4I will harden his heart so that he will not let the people go. 22Then you shall say to Pharaoh, ‘This is what the Lord says: “5Israel is My son, My firstborn. 23So I said to you, ‘6Let My son go so that he may serve Me’; but you have refused to let him go. Behold, 7I am going to kill your son, your firstborn.”’”

24But it came about at the overnight encampment on the way, that the Lord met 8Moses, and 9sought to put him to death. 25So Zipporah took 10a flint and cut off her son’s foreskin and 11threw it at Moses’ feet; and she said, “You are indeed a groom of blood to me!” 26So He left him alone. At that time she said, “You are a groom of blood”--12because of the circumcision.

2713Now the Lord said to Aaron, “Go to meet Moses in the wilderness.” So he went and met him at the 14mountain of God and kissed him. 2815Moses told Aaron all the words of the Lord with which He had sent him, and 16all the signs that He had commanded him to do. 29Then Moses and Aaron went and 17assembled all the elders of the sons of Israel; 30and 18Aaron spoke all the words which the Lord had spoken to Moses. He then performed the 19signs in the sight of the people. 31So 20the people believed; and when they heard that the Lord 2122was concerned about the sons of Israel and that He had seen their affliction, 23they bowed low and worshiped.
