Exodus 4:24-31

24But it came about at the overnight encampment on the way, that the Lord met 1Moses, and 2sought to put him to death. 25So Zipporah took 3a flint and cut off her son’s foreskin and 4threw 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”--5because of the circumcision.

27 6Now the Lord said to Aaron, “Go to meet Moses in the wilderness.” So he went and met him at the 7mountain of God and kissed him. 28 8Moses told Aaron all the words of the Lord with which He had sent him, and 9all the signs that He had commanded him to do. 29Then Moses and Aaron went and 10assembled all the elders of the sons of Israel; 30and 11Aaron spoke all the words which the Lord had spoken to Moses. He then performed the 12signs in the sight of the people. 31So 13the people believed; and when they heard that the Lord 14 15was concerned about the sons of Israel and that He had seen their affliction, 16they bowed low and worshiped.
