Exodus 4:21-31

21And YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, When thou goestH3212 to returnH7725 into EgyptH4714, seeH7200 that thou doH6213 all those wondersH4159 beforeH6440 PharaohH6547, which I have putH7760 in thine handH3027: but I will hardenH2388 his heartH3820, that he shall not let the peopleH5971 goH7971. 22And thou shalt sayH559 unto PharaohH6547, Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068, IsraelH3478 is my sonH1121, even my firstbornH1060: 23And I sayH559 unto thee, Let my sonH1121 goH7971, that he may serveH5647 me: and if thou refuseH3985 to let him goH7971, behold, I will slayH2026 thy sonH1121, even thy firstbornH1060.

24And it came to pass by the wayH1870 in the innH4411, that YhwhH3068 metH6298 him, and soughtH1245 to killH4191 him. 25Then ZipporahH6855 tookH3947 a sharp stoneH6864, and cut offH3772 the foreskinH6190 of her sonH1121, and castH5060 it at his feetH7272, and saidH559, Surely a bloodyH1818 husbandH2860 art thou to me.12 26So he let him goH7503: then she saidH559, A bloodyH1818 husbandH2860 thou art, because of the circumcisionH4139.

27And YhwhH3068 saidH559 to AaronH175, GoH3212 into the wildernessH4057 to meetH7125 MosesH4872. And he wentH3212, and metH6298 him in the mountH2022 of GodH430, and kissedH5401 him. 28And MosesH4872 toldH5046 AaronH175 all the wordsH1697 of YhwhH3068 who had sentH7971 him, and all the signsH226 which he had commandedH6680 him.

29And MosesH4872 and AaronH175 wentH3212 and gathered togetherH622 all the eldersH2205 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: 30And AaronH175 spakeH1696 all the wordsH1697 which YhwhH3068 had spokenH1696 unto MosesH4872, and didH6213 the signsH226 in the sightH5869 of the peopleH5971. 31And the peopleH5971 believedH539: and when they heardH8085 that YhwhH3068 had visitedH6485 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and that he had lookedH7200 upon their afflictionH6040, then they bowed their headsH6915 and worshippedH7812.
