Exodus 4:18-28

18So Moses went, returned to his father-in-law Jethro and said to him, “Please let me go, so I may return to my kinsmen who are in Egypt and see whether they are still alive.” Jethro said to Moses, “Go in peace.”

19Then Adonai said to Moses in Midian, “Go, return to Egypt, for all the men that sought your life are dead.”

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

21Adonai said to Moses, “When you go back to Egypt, see that you do all the wonders before Pharaoh that I have put in your hand. Still, I will harden his heart, and he will not let the people go.

22You are to say to Pharaoh, “This is what Adonai says: ‘Israel is My son, My firstborn.

23So I have said to you, Let My son go, that he may serve Me, but you have refused to let him go. Behold, I will slay your son, your firstborn.’”

24It happened along the way, at a lodging place, that Adonai met him and sought to kill him!

25But Zipporah took a flint, cut off the foreskin of her son, and threw it at his feet, saying, “You are surely a bridegroom of blood to me.”

26She said, “A bridegroom of blood” because of the circumcision. Then He let him alone.

27Now Adonai said to Aaron, “Go into the wilderness to meet Moses.” So he went and met him at the mountain of God, and kissed him.

28Then Moses told Aaron all the words of Adonai with which He had been sent, along with all the signs that He had commanded him to do.
