Exodus 4:18-28

18And MosesH4872 wentH7725 and returnedH7725 to JethroH3503 his father in law, and saidH559 unto him, LetH4994 meH413 goH7725, I prayH4994 thee, and returnH7725 unto my brethrenH251 whichH834 are in EgyptH4714, and seeH7200 whetherH7200 they be yet aliveH2416. And JethroH3503 saidH559 to MosesH4872, GoH7725 in peaceH7965.

19And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872 in MidianH4080, GoH7725, returnH7725 intoH413 EgyptH4714: for allH3605 the menH376 are deadH4191 which soughtH1245 thy lifeH5315.

20And MosesH4872 tookH3947 his wifeH802 and his sonsH1121, and setH7725 them uponH5921 an ass, and he returnedH7725 to the landH776 of EgyptH4714: and MosesH4872 tookH3947 the rodH4294 of GodH430 in his handH3027.

21And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, When thou goest backH7725 intoH413 EgyptH4714, seeH7200 that thou doH6213 beforeH6440 PharaohH6547 allH3605 the wondersH4159 whichH834 I have putH7760 in thine handH3027: but I will hardenH2388 his heartH3820, and he will notH3808 letH7971 the peopleH5971 goH7971.

22And thou shalt sayH559 unto PharaohH6547, ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, IsraelH3478 is my sonH1121, my firstbornH1060:

23and I have saidH559 unto thee, LetH7971 my sonH1121 goH7971, that he may serveH5647 meH413; and thou hast refusedH3985 to letH7971 him goH7971: beholdH2009, I will slayH2026 thy sonH1121, thy firstbornH1060.

24And it cameH1961 to passH1961 on the wayH1870 at the lodgingH4411 placeH1961, that the LORDH3068 metH6298 him, and soughtH1245 to killH4191 him.

25Then ZipporahH6855 tookH3947 a flintH6864, and cutH3772 offH3772 the foreskinH6190 of herH3947 sonH1121, and castH5060 it at his feetH7272; and sheH3588 saidH559, SurelyH3588 a bridegroom of bloodH1818 art thou to meH3947.

26SoH4480 he letH7503 him aloneH7503. Then sheH227 saidH559, A bridegroom of bloodH1818 art thou, becauseH4480 of the circumcisionH4139.

27And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to AaronH175, Go intoH413 the wildernessH4057 to meetH6298 MosesH4872. And he wentH7125, and metH6298 him in the mountainH2022 of GodH430, and kissedH5401 him.

28And MosesH4872 toldH5046 AaronH175 allH3605 the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068 wherewith he had sentH7971 him, and allH3605 the signsH226 wherewith he had chargedH6680 him.
